Picture perfect, love the entrance into the scene using the tracks. Light very flattering as are the cotton ball cloud formations. A very beautiful landscape. Vote

This is a beauty Sam. How did I miss it. The track leading you in, the barn to stop the eye and lead it to the sky is perfect. To me, it's one of your best. PS. i just noticed.. I hadn't missed it. It's worth two comments.

A most beautiful well composed image against that backdrop of the mountain shrouded in clouds Sam. Those train tracks add a nice touch, leading one towards the building and then the center of the image.
