Thanks for the nice comments!&nbsp; Yes, canibeyou, that's exactly where the barn is.&nbsp; I passed by it a few times without my camera and kept kicking myself.&nbsp; I originally shot the picture in color even though there is an ugly orange No Trespassing sign on the fence, but it fades nicely into anonymity in black and white.&nbsp; I'll be posting more stuff as time goes by.&nbsp; My website has been seriously neglected for many years by a busy work schedule, so I'll just post them here for now.&nbsp; I did make a calendar for 2007 for BVS, and am planning to make another one for 2008.&nbsp; Thanks again, glad you like them. http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/GregL/6947/#c_70132 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/GregL/6947/#c_70132 Thanks for the nice comments!&nbsp; Yes, canibeyou, that's exactly where the barn is.&nbsp; I passed by it a few times without my camera and kept kicking myself.&nbsp; I originally shot the picture in color even though there is an ugly orange No Trespassing sign on the fence, but it fades nicely into anonymity in black and white.&nbsp; I'll be posting more stuff as time goes by.&nbsp; My website has been seriously neglected for many years by a busy work schedule, so I'll just post them here for now.&nbsp; I did make a calendar for 2007 for BVS, and am planning to make another one for 2008.&nbsp; Thanks again, glad you like them. <font face="Times New Roman" color="#993366" size="2"><em><strong>Beautiful...Just beautiful.&nbsp;&nbsp; I'm glad to see&nbsp;you&nbsp;copyright your art!</strong></em></font> http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/GregL/6947/#c_70135 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/GregL/6947/#c_70135 <font face="Times New Roman" color="#993366" size="2"><em><strong>Beautiful...Just beautiful.&nbsp;&nbsp; I'm glad to see&nbsp;you&nbsp;copyright your art!</strong></em></font> Canibeyou, I don't usually shoot humanoids, mostly landscapes, trains, airplanes, and lately some wildlife.&nbsp; I've recently switched to the Sony A-100 Digital SLR.&nbsp; It's a really nice camera body and Sony is making some nice lenses for it too, although any lens with a Minolta Maxuum mount will fit.&nbsp; I used to shoot film for so many years, and I have thousands of slides that I need to scan when I get some time.&nbsp; But the quality of the A-100 is such that I'm sooooooo done with film.&nbsp; Thanks for asking.&nbsp; http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/GregL/6947/#c_70301 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/GregL/6947/#c_70301 Canibeyou, I don't usually shoot humanoids, mostly landscapes, trains, airplanes, and lately some wildlife.&nbsp; I've recently switched to the Sony A-100 Digital SLR.&nbsp; It's a really nice camera body and Sony is making some nice lenses for it too, although any lens with a Minolta Maxuum mount will fit.&nbsp; I used to shoot film for so many years, and I have thousands of slides that I need to scan when I get some time.&nbsp; But the quality of the A-100 is such that I'm sooooooo done with film.&nbsp; Thanks for asking.&nbsp; <p><font face="Comic Sans MS" size="3">Great Picture of the Old Cummings Valley barn I shot almost that same picture in 2003 then entered it into the local photo contest and took 2nd place in landscape pictures.

Colitas, the 3rd, 4th, and 5th pictures are all from Cameron Rd.&nbsp; There aren't any wagons left in that shot you mentioned and I don't recall another structure there.&nbsp; There was a house behind me on the other side of the road, though.&nbsp; i noticed the other day on our way back to BVS from the Poppy Reserve that I could see that abandoned building from TWS Rd.&nbsp; I know the windmills are a good thing, but they bummed me out too on several shots, trying to get a nice clean shot of a building or the landscape without windmills in the frame.&nbsp; <br /> <br /> I'm so sorry to hear about your brother.&nbsp; Yeah, that curve is definitely a treacherous one, and need to be taken very slowly. http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/GregL/6947/#c_78701 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/GregL/6947/#c_78701 Colitas, the 3rd, 4th, and 5th pictures are all from Cameron Rd.&nbsp; There aren't any wagons left in that shot you mentioned and I don't recall another structure there.&nbsp; There was a house behind me on the other side of the road, though.&nbsp; i noticed the other day on our way back to BVS from the Poppy Reserve that I could see that abandoned building from TWS Rd.&nbsp; I know the windmills are a good thing, but they bummed me out too on several shots, trying to get a nice clean shot of a building or the landscape without windmills in the frame.&nbsp; <br /> <br /> I'm so sorry to hear about your brother.&nbsp; Yeah, that curve is definitely a treacherous one, and need to be taken very slowly. Greg, thanks for responding ;)&nbsp; Thank you for you comment about my brother, but I believe I worded that wrong.&nbsp; He didn't on the curve on Cameron Cyn, he died on the back road going to Lancaster right before you get to that straight away.&nbsp;And BTW, the house behind you was our old house...I'm glad it's still standing.&nbsp; http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/GregL/6947/#c_78735 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/GregL/6947/#c_78735 Greg, thanks for responding ;)&nbsp; Thank you for you comment about my brother, but I believe I worded that wrong.&nbsp; He didn't on the curve on Cameron Cyn, he died on the back road going to Lancaster right before you get to that straight away.&nbsp;And BTW, the house behind you was our old house...I'm glad it's still standing.&nbsp;
