Iron Earth

Posted by Bill Ault (GBA, Canada) on 21 January 2009 in Landscape & Rural.

"When now, unsparing as the scourge of war, Blasts follow blasts and groves dismantled roar; Around their home the storm-pinched cattle lows, No nourishment in frozen pasture grows; Yet frozen pastures every morn resound With fair abundance thund'ring to the ground."

Hi Bill ! A somptuous landscape ! It seems to be a painting ! I love the contrast between the great and tortured sky and the road white with snow ! Great ! Bye !

Excellent commentary... and a familiar scene though it was in the northern plains that I remember this type of view mostly... Excellent.

It's an excellent shot, but it looks cold and bleak. This shot certainly brings that feeling across.
