On vacation in New Hampshire. I wanted to shoot a covered bridge and the family came along with me. Took some shots without the kids in view, which was hard to do, but I kind of liked this one. The positioning of the kids and the dog (not ours BTW - she just showed up!) near the ROT line seems to work. My wife is somewhere off to the left. Bless her heart - I kept shooing her off to the side because she had on a white blouse that was like a blazing beacon in the direct sunlight. :-) I'm glad she likes me. :-D
Speaking of my wife; she took this shot while patiently waiting for me. :-)
