A drive in the country is always a good thing. Sun on the stubble. Fresh air. Photo ops every where.
Nice work mate. What is the black and white processing story? Lightroom?

I especially like the expansive feel of the third one.

**Bruce Clark** · 09-24-2015, 04:34 PM

Very evocative series. The clouds in #4 are perfectly set up. "A huff and a puff and I'll blow your house down" Fantastic.

**Scorpio71GR** · 09-24-2015, 06:23 PM

Nice series, I really like the first one.

**Sailor** · 09-25-2015, 08:19 AM

Man, just the sort of crisp, clear B&W shots I love. Nice job, bud.

Love NIK.

It's not just the KerrowDown into the B%Ws now. #4 is way interesting. Makes the head swimmy w/o the drams.

Lovely photos, compositions.

Certainly a bit of a lean going on in the last one.

Suitable only for hillside dwellers... as long as you put it up the right way round.
