Default Little Shack on the Prairie

Out on the Montana prairie there are many old buildings and farm equipment that has been sitting for years, this is an example of such.

Very nice photos Duane, so isolated and run down.

Great images Duane. It's amazing when you find these photographic gems just scattered around. Shame to see things so desecrated, but great finds for your camera. Love the sky in the first shot and the fence in the foreground and how it leads your eye toward the horizon. Lovely work.

These are wonderful Duane. Lovely detail on the second, but I think my favorite is the first -- I love seeing the context of the shack, that sense of the vastness of the land, the beautiful subtle colors, and your excellent composition. I'm surrounded by such drama in my landscape that I love seeing the quiet, subtle beauty of yours -- your photos portray it so well!

Awesome shots Duane...I love these. I really like old broken down buildings and fences and these photos sure cover that subject.

I love both these shots. The composition is great and the colours of the shack really match the surrounds. I love photographing old buildings.
