I took this photograph on a farmstead in Illinois. My Dad always finds some incredible places to shoot in the Midwest. I'm always intrigued by the history of a place and how time changes things. The farm is still a working farm. Except their only products are crops. Yet, it has been farmed by the same family for generations. That is a rare thing today! Learn more about our history - inspired by photographs at Sepia Saturday. And if you're looking for a project this weekend check out the Saturday Soiree or the Sunday Creative!
Such a lovely photo; not many farms in NZ would be owned by the same family through many generations but I happen to be reading about one now that has been in the same family since the farm was formed in the 1850's.
That is a really beautiful photograph : the shades seem to blend together and give a feeling of the stillness and history of the place. Great Sepia Saturday contribution.
Oh... and vegemite is a type of spread (for bread) which is only found in Australia. It's made out of yeast extract and it very salty, with a distinct taste.
I love this - it reminds me of some old buildings by my house. I may tinker around with some editing on my end.

ReplyDeleteLovely colours in this photo. Is it some kind of silo?

ReplyDeleteYour right it is type of silo. I think this one is called a corn crib.
This is a beautiful shot. I really love it. The trees in the background are really pretty.

ReplyDeleteOh my! I'm sure how that can taste good? I have yeast in my fridge for making bread and it smells bitter.
ReplyDeleteI love this shot!
