Small Town Sunday
Posted by Brian (West Lafayette, United States) on 2 September 2007 in Cityscape & Urban.
The sun rises on a peaceful Sunday morning in a small Midwestern town.

Brian-
This photo immediately reminded me of a gentle and beautiful Thomas Kinkade oil painting that would hang in a country home !The colors are so beautiful and blend so well! I also like how you managed to capture the early morning flight of birds in the air over the town. I like the overall feeling of a sleepy town soon to be waking to the excitement of a new day!
Did you do much cropping in this picture because it has framed everything so perfectly. Did you find you had to enhance the colors at all?
I bet you Thomas Kinkade would love to paint this picture....and good title too for the image too!!! Small Town Sunday!

Oh, I love it! It looks so peaceful and beautiful Brian! We don't have buildings like this where we live. We're surround by paddocks and bush! Great photo! :)

The pinkish tint gives this image an ethereal quality and the birds in flight add that extra bit of atmosphere as well.

Thank you all for the supportive comments. This pic was taken from the pedestrian bridge across the Wabash and was a 'bonus.' I was taking some pix of other things at the time and I noticed the sun rising in the early-morning haze. I took this shot with a long TP; lots of PP, though!

There is this calming, quietly blissful yet gently stirring feel to this scene, Brian. :) I love those beautifull beautiful tones of coral and mauve, and those trees, birds and the glorious morning sun.... together they make this "quiet" town the perfect place to be this Sunday. :)
