I have been working most of my time here, and being so far north the sun sets about the time I leave work and is not truly up when I head to work… but today I took a short diversion at 4:45PM and there was enough light to get some decent pictures… Strange that I was only 1/2 mile from the facility I am checking out… and this was just a drive way off the main road back to the major highway I use back and forth to motel… I had spotted this neat barn yesterday and I am a “barn picture” person… so I stopped to get this one
Close by were several other old out buildings from a long used farmstead… I doubt that it is all used today like it was back when but there are a lot of interesting pieces here..
Just around the corner a large group of Deer bounded across the road…this guy was at first watching the others go over the hill…
The turned to watch me…
Behind that barn was an old shack… not sure if it was an out-house or a cabin or what but since I did not have permission I stayed on the road…
I think the wagon has seen better days…
On up that road… I shot this..
Bird house on a tilt… but look closer… I missed it when I got the first two pictures…
I was totally focused on the bird house in a very strange position….
what about again?
Any clearer? I still had not realized it was there…
As I pulled up to the top of the hill, turned the car around at the end of the driveway to a house… and started back down…
Son-of-a-Gun… They are are a little bigger than the deer… and still they are not more than 200 yards from a very busy highway and on the other side of that is a very large industrial park then a town of maybe 100,000 people… who says all the wildlife has moved off?
Not sure what he/she was doing but it looked funny…
So a 20 minute diversion off the main road to get a barn picture lead to a much large collection of things to see.. This is what I enjoy most about trips… the other 99% of the time just truly sucks… but that is because it is work… I guess…
