Very cool examples of rural as a theme. I like your comp for the Moulton Barn with the foreground creek.

Its almost funny how much time I spend driving through rural areas to get to someplace where I want to shoot and how little of the rural countryside I actually photograph.

Alan, I'm glad you stopped to capture these great images instead of driving past! I especially love the old cabin and the old house images! Very nice. I also favor the small farm in Sweet Creek Valley, a very beautiful scene too. The farm equipment and fence in the Kestner Homestead creates a memorable capture of times past. Thank you for sharing these images Alan.

Dan, I LOVE your B&W captures you shared—thank you for doing so! The golden gate bridge color image (?) is well captured—good composition with beautiful sky and its reflection in the surf below. The bridge’s color adds a nice color contrast in the image. I love both barns you’ve shared, especially the first—very nice! The “boulder beach” is a well composed image too—especially works well in B&W! I like the lone bird in the sky—aids visual interest in this great composition. In your final composition, a driver must rely on their faith or luck with such a fog obscuring THE ROAD! Great image taken from a safer viewpoint!
A few from different locations.

Jameel, thank you for sharing these rural landscapes! So many beautiful images—all are so well captured! I especially favor the WA and the VT images! But my overall is the Colorado image—the strong foreground row of hay bales with the majestic mountains beyond creates a memorable image!

Aaron, great images you posted—and thank you for sharing! The dilapidated barn, your first image, is a very interesting capture. The second winter image of the red barn pictured in the snowy landscape is a beautiful and memorable scene—it definitely “deserves the star” pictured on the barn. Nice. The third image of the full moon beyond the mountains is perhaps my favorite among your images—it’s a tough choice! I also love your fifth image of the very dilapidated barn—very nice as well. The last image of the farm is another well composed image—love the foreground green trees and the atmospheric perspective providing the lighter desaturated hills beyond.Great photos from everyone. Here are a few from the Palouse.

Thank you for all the feedback John. I'm in a rural setting so I'm constantly building that image library.
