Fifty shades of grey.  That's what I like about this image, that with a simple colour palette the beauty can be so pronounced.  I love that in the snow the colour of a normally drab barn can sing out against the white or gey landscape. and I love the dead silence snow produces.  

Today, as I was Master of My Own Destiny and in charge of not one, but two farms, I enjoyed the silence.  I fed the pigs, chatted with the hens and bleeted at the sheep.  I took the dogs for a walk, or rather they rounded me up.  They made sure I didn't stray.  They looked after me.

It was a beautiful simple existence.  Just glorious.  Lucky me.
