that's a lovely place to house all those things Sandy
the 19th century farm tools must be so interesting to see
especially for modern young farmers

nice sky too. love the shadows

Thanks Marie, it is a lovely spot, when you get on the grounds you can see all the way to the Mountain range in New Hampshire. The main road you see is still a dirt road. I have a few more I took up there that I will post here or on there own thread.

One more dealing with the Meeting House, the road to the meeting house, this is the main road up the mountain and yes there are several house in the area, and yes it is dirt. It's like going back in time. ;)

Thanks. One of the advantages of the afternoon sun casting nice shadows, as long as you're not trying to shoot into it. :lol: :lol:

Love the second one.

Thanks; I really like this one also. I think what I like about it is that it appears as if time stood still, if someone had a camera in 1845 and taken a photo it wouldn't look any different. :D

If they were to build that today it would be some glass abomination.
