Have I told the story about my grandfather's farm in Devine? It still has that old windmill. The one where you had an empty cup hung from a hook and everyone drank from when they got around that clean water coming out of the ground.
You keep shooting and showing this type photo and you'll have me smiling all the time.
I like it. I like it a lot because it brings out emotions from times gone by. I like the time and color of day. I like it Barry.

Thanks Doug!
I'm glad you enjoy this scene as much as I do. I sounds like Devine might be a great place to take some photos one day?
Cheers!

I like the colors in this one. They all seem to go very well together and make the photo. The composition is simple, yet very effective. Good job.
Thank you Patrick!
Cheers!
Barry
