Description

This old barn sits in a valley very near to where I live. Although this looks very still and peaceful, this area of the valley is known for it population of rattlesnakes. As a boy I would make money hauling hay from fields in this area. Once, I picked up a bale only to have a rattler greet me from under the hay.

Very nice effects, Danny. I always associate rattlesnakes with western states. It would definitely be disconcerting to suprise one of them! #1384852

Beautiful capture, nice light and treatment, Danny! Bailed hay too for many summers as a kid, and we had a few snakes in the bales but not rattlers. #9458703
