Spent a week in the Berkshires in Mass the past few days. Very different stuff for me. Definitely took me out of my comfort zone.

    Good stuff, really like the hat shot looks like floating in water. Bridge BW is also very nice with great compo.

    Great Danny, 2nd one is my favorite - you got the early rays!
    1st one is very interesting, I keep thinking it looks like an alien ship that just crashed into the woods ...

    Nice shots Dan! #1 is very powerful. Funny, I live only 2.5 hours from the Berkshires and have never shot there.

    Nice set, Dan! I love the b/w treatment of the industrial building. Are the windows b0rked or is that just the angle of the light reflection?

    I've not heard of the Berkshires before (even though I grew up in the NE lol3.gif ) but you certainly captured the peaceful, historic feel that the area is known for. Love the light beams!

    Great shots Dan. I guess you got used to being outside your comfort zone. :D

    I love all the misty sun rays. You only see those around here if there was dust storm.rolleyes1.gif

    I used to live out that way, Dan! Spent many an afternoon riding my motorcycle through the Berkshires. You got some really super shots there. The first five are amazing! clap.gif
