I love the proportions of this wall and chimney, one wing of a handsome house overlooking the town from Liberty Hall Road. Very Virginia.

A picture a day of the town of Lexington, Virginia
Beautiful Lexington, Virginia:
A town of 7,000 in the Shenandoah Valley -- home to Washington and Lee University and the Virginia Military Institute; resting place of Civil War generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson; and at the center of one of the prettiest counties in Virginia: Rockbridge County.

That is a gorgeous shot mk! That chimney sure is tall!
This made me smile — when I was a kid, I'd always draw houses this way: a peaked roof, two paned windows and a chimney (and a door, of course). Which, now that I think about it, is really weird because our houses don't have chimneys!
Lovely shot. I especially like that you included the tree branches in the photo.
That chimney could be perfect for Santa Claus :-)))
beautiful blue sunny sky
Nice shot, good composition, and great title. Are you sure you're not a photographer? Your pics are all really good.
Thanks, Tanya!
Hilda -- I think this must be one reason it appeals to me, too. (The way I cropped it makes it look even more that way.) And maybe we all feel a home needs a hearth, even where it's hot.
Fio - Santa? -- Oh dear, I knew there was something I was supposed to be doing this week!
Ken Mac - Well, the blue sky seems to be the one thing my camera can do!
Clueless - I'm very sure (though I'm trying), but thanks so much for the encouragement.
Hello! Your work deserves a prize... 2 prizes! Check my blog, please! Ciao!
Lovely shot and framing! I like these brick walls and the pattern above the windows.
Thank you, Rob! (I posted something today [Sunday] about this.) I appreciate it very much. Congratulations to you, too.
JM - thanks for your unfailingly kind comments.
This is so nice, I love the way you composed this photo.
