Colorado Winter Farm

It has been very cold here, but this crop of fresh snow is doing well so far.

Old Homestead

I am calling this a homestead although it may have been a small town. Located in the middle of a large mountain valley there was nothing anywhere near it.  The tall part of the building to the far right has what could be a steeple on it. Or it might be a watch tower. These structures were a good distance from me and what you see was shot with a 75-300 zoom lens at full zoom, hand held.

Soon enough the machinery will rumble to life and this field will be tilled and new seed planted. Any moisture is always welcomed in Colorado which has a semi arid climate.

Colorado Barn

A simple photo reflecting a deliberate life, where time is measured by which crops are produced according to the season. In this scene we are between crops, and all is still.

A late summer barn with natural ventilation. Found in Port Austin, Michigan.

Fall Barn

A handsome barn found in the country up in Northern Colorado…There is a corn crop ready for harvest and this barn looks to be set up to unload a crop by way of chute, much like a silo would.A closer look at the intriguing and possibly unusual set up for loading tractors or trucks.

I will never tire of the simple beauty of barns and the life of a hard working farmer.
