Of course a red barn will stand out in late autumn when most of the colours are quite muted. This is a pretty modern farming operation with many silos and often the harvesting is contracted to custom operators. Quite often the corn crops are not harvested until the fields are frozen to allow better access to the fields!
Oh, and the actual shutter speed was 1/800, with a +2/3 bias:)

Thanks for looking, etc.:)
This course in Baltimore County is adjacent to the center for MD agriculture and farm park which we visited last week - HTMT!
This migrant seemed to be all alone except it was hanging out with a black-necked stilt. (Also unusual for us, but a little less so.)
American Avocet, Recurvirostra americana
of course i missed SL!! So it's good to be back. And perfect way to celebrate this is to go out and party with mah friends. Everyone bum wiggling haha. Love you all! ((amazing picture by Gaudrik again))
A late season search for a winter stash of food on a golf course in Dundas, Ontario. Now we know where your missing balls end up.
"Chilled Asparagus with Egg, Red Pepper and Oil and Vinegar"
Perfect for a brunch, or as a substitute for a salad at a dinner party. Makes a great and light first course. Very nice in summer when the weather is hot.
Put about 2-3 inches of water in a pot and bring to a boil. Trim the ends from the asparagus and place in the boiling water. Watch closely as you only want them to cook for a few minutes. Remove the asparagus, run under cold water to stop the cooking process and lay out in a single layer on a plate and place in the refrigerator to cool.
Boil eggs, and peel and chop. Take one red bell pepper and cut into strips for garnish.
Either make a dressing with olive oil, red wine vinegar, dijon mustard and a pinch of salt, or as I do at home, use Paul Neumans Olive Oil and Vinegar dressing. This stuff is excellent! Just do not refrigerate the open bottle. If you want, add a bit of dijon mustard to the Paul Neumans and whisk. Adds another layer of flavor to the dish.
Arrange asparagus on each plate, drizzle the dressing over the asparagus, top with chopped egg, and garnish with the red bell pepper.
This dish can be plated and kept in the frig until service or left at room temp for 1/2 hour before serving.
A rare photo of me, with my son (right) and grandson last night. My grandson's first 18 holes. I never knew either of my grandfathers so hopefully we've made some memories which will last my grandson a lifetime.... Taken on my grandson's I-Phone.
A spectacular trio of merging galaxies in the constellation Boötes takes centre stage in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. These three galaxies are set on a collision course and will eventually merge into a single larger galaxy, distorting one another’s spiral structure through mutual gravitational interaction in the process. An unrelated foreground galaxy appears to float serenely alongside the collision, and the smudged shapes of much more distant galaxies are visible in the background.
This colliding trio — known to astronomers as SDSSCGB 10189 — is a relatively rare combination of three large star-forming galaxies lying within only 50 000 light-years of one another. While that might sound like a safe distance, for galaxies this makes them extremely close neighbours! Our own galactic neighbours are much further away; Andromeda, the nearest large galaxy to the Milky Way, is more than 2.5 million light-years away from Earth.
This observation was designed to help astronomers understand the origin of the largest, most massive galaxies in the universe. These galactic behemoths are called Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) and — as the name suggests — are defined as the brightest galaxies in any given galaxy cluster. Astronomers suspect that BCGs form through the merger of large, gas-rich galaxies like the ones in this image. They turned to Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 and Advanced Camera for Surveys to investigate this galactic trio in painstaking detail, hoping to shed light on the formation of the Universe’s most massive galaxies.
[Image description: Three galaxies stand together just right of centre. They are close enough that they appear to be merging into one. Their shapes are distorted, with strands of gas and dust running between them. Each is emitting a lot of light. Further to the left is an unconnected, dimmer spiral galaxy. The background is dark, with a few smaller, dim and faint galaxies and a couple of stars.]
