What an interesting post/capture, Gemma! I've never seen lime kiln before! Wonderful shadows for the day and the perfect words! Enjoy your day!!
Gemma, thank you for correcting my entry -- not sure what happened this morning, but I couldn't enter it correctly so had to enter again and I really don't like to do that!! I do appreciate your help!!
This picture would be great for a micro fiction!
That is gorgeous!
