notice how the roof beams extend out to catch that porch roof .. Then they used 4 out of level posts to look more authentic..
On the side there looks to be a screen over the window..?

The Ruby Mountains, in Nevada, from a couple summers ago. 4x5, 150mm lens, Velvia.
Pretty post-cardish. I'm a big fan of shots with a "mood," which I originally thought this image to be lacking. I then realized that it displays the typical mood of a bright, clear morning in alpine terrain during the summer. Whether that is a good thing or not photographically, I don't know - I'm just throwing this out there for fun.
Nice images everyone
Here's the closest thing we've got to Ansel's tripod holes in Australia: My take on the vista that every tourist with a camera captures while in the Blue Mountains.

All and any comments welcome.

Dear Carey,
We Canadians have a mountain range with an identical name to the "Three Sisters" in Canmore Alberta, a few kilometres west of Calgary, and a quaint bustling town located just few kilometers before you enter the town of Banff, Alberta along the TransCanada Highway, where the named mountain range refers to a group of Nuns wearing their Habits, and although the image of our mountain range does not look similar to this image at all, your image is totally superb...
You continuously demonstrate an eye for a balanced image, and the obvious skill sets to reproduce it effectively.
I would eliminate anyone to add an image like that, complete with an Alberta cloud filled sky, to my portfolio.
Nicely done.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for your kind words. They mean a lot to me as I have nothing but the utmost respect for your eye and vision - an opinion formed on the basis of the exceedingly fine images you post here with a regularity that I can only envy
As regards the name "The Three Sisters", Aboriginal legend has it that these three rocks are three sisters that were turned to stone by their father, the witch doctor Tyawan, to protect them from a marauding Bunyip. Unfortunately Tyawan lost his magic bone before he was able to turn his three daughters back into human form, so here they remain to this day...
Clearly the sister on the left was the looker of the three, while the middle sister had, shall we say, good "child bearing hips"...
I'm not sure whether you get Bunyips in Alberta. One day I'm going to visit and find out.
Thanks again.
