Two distinct views, similar but very different…
Deep woods create a vertical wonderland of clean air and abundant wildlife.
The inside of a barn made of wood, teases with air and light filtering through gaps.

Mike's Look at Life
A personal blog communicating issues around life including horrific loss and overwhelming joy, and many things in between.
This is a perfect pairing of images. Well thought out. Great stuff (as usual). Happy Friday Mike.
They do match up well as it turns out. Your generous comment is much appreciated Terry. Happy Friday.
Wonderful Mike
Thank you Frauke. Have a good weekend sweetie.
You too, big hugs
Similar yet contrasting. Similar vertical thin structures with dappled light filtering through yet contrasting man-made versus natural, flat planks versus round trees, 2-d versus 3-d, one keeping things out while the other inviting you in. A wonderful pairing of images; I really like it.
Thank you very much indeed, James.
THe characteristics of trees lives on in the wood. Fantastic.
They should be framed together one image in two distinct parts.
Generous comment. Thanks so much.
Love the comparison.
Thanks Pat. Happy weekend.
These photographs would make a very interesting diptych. What a great photo essay! I like the barn one very much … first time I’ve seen light captured in such an effective full-frame display. Your perception, sensitivity, photography skills and articulate voice produce some startling statements rather often!
Gosh George, thanks. I like that they married well. When I woke up and looked to create a post, this just kind of fell together. The barn is my best friend’s barn in Michigan. He has a summer cottage on the beach and a nice home with some acreage and woods. Me, I got your lovely comment to keep me warm as the winter descends. Thank you.
I do like the parallelism of this and the thought that the once living trees give us shelter. Happy Friday to everyone!
An attractive comparison.
Thank you, yes.
I’m enamored with the light and shadows of the second image. Lovely.
Thank you very much. I like it too and I am pleased that it has been well received.
Great concept. Well shot.
Thanks hutch.
Very nice concept (& execution) of the before and after…. well done, Mike!
Thanks, Gunta!
Interesting juxtaposition…
Good word and nice comment. Thanks.
Beautiful comparison. Both images are spectacular!
Thanks so much Gina
Very nice. I love the first one and the second one looks also like a laser beam fest!
Yeah the second one has a surreal look to it. Thanks, Marielba.
Much prefer the second shot only because I doubt, if I had seen it, I would have thought to take a photo of the play of dark against light.
Thanks Paul.
Brilliant pairing of images!
Thanks Robin.
Very, very nice Mike, love it!
Thank you very much Christina.
Great pairing of images, Mike…very nice.
Graci Scottoro.
I like the juxtaposition of the two images.
Thanks Stephen.
Both of these are just gorgeous. Makes me feel in there, rather than out here looking in.
Thank you Sylver.
