Fence Posts

I seem to have a thing for fence posts. Fence posts running off into the distance. Fence posts containing an old cattle loading yard. Fence posts providing a support for wildflowers...and other things.

As the summer gives way to Autumn, before the leaves turn and the grassland goes from green to brown, there is a period of a few weeks in the Flint Hills when the late summer and early fall wild flowers take over. The range land, once only green suddenly erupts into a new color. Not the reds, blues and purples seen in spring, but shades of... yellow. Lots of it...




Maximilian Sunflowers are everywhere


and then there are the boots...

Are those enhanced at all or are they straight pictures from the camera...raw images?
Forgive me I am new (sigh)!

These were all originally shot on film using a Nikon F and then the prints were scanned and the contrast adjusted.

If you click on the images you can see the larger version and the grain is very prominent. You never see grain in a digital image.
