I like this a lot- I can't figure out what is different, but somehow this
feels very different from your other photos.
Do you know why?

@farmermarn: Thanks for your comment. Not sure what might be different -- indeed I sometimes worry that I just take the same photo again and again in different places. :) I'm frustrated that when I took this I hadn't yet figured out how to manage DOF on the d300 (got it now) so I don't like that about this photo, but I did like the light and colors. Thanks for stopping by.

I love the style of the building, the roof has such a graceful movement!And then the way light plays on the roof, here and there, warming the colours of the wood. Finally the canopy of naked branches through which we can see a sky blue, but spotted by small cottony clouds - the kind of sky I prefer. You found a good angle and managed a very inspiring winter shot!
