Grass Roots

The Town Hall represents the very roots of democracy. Today, the cold winds envelope its four walls as darkness falls on the wide open plains. The rush of the wind is broken only by the creaking of boards straining against the bitter winter elements.

Nicely composed and executed image. It tells part of the story of the prairies.

Love the starkness of this shot and the pastel colors. Thanks for sharing on the Digital photography group. I have learned so much there!

Simplicity of composition and the stark nature make this a very compelling shot, beautifully processed to bring out the best, well done Gary...

Nicely seen. I like the stark nature of it.

Like the mood - the cool blues complement the starkness of the image. But that hint of pink warms the image enough to draw me in.

Gary, I just love the starkness you've captured here. The pastel colours just soften the scene perfectly....love it!

Horizon is tilted - my eye is really sensitive to that for some reason. Love the blue for cold, though...
