Description
Typical 160 acre farm in western Missouri. Thought the long line of hay rolls was a bit unusual. Photo taken in February 2009 near the town of Weston, Missouri on the Missouri River. Farms here were first settled between the mid 1830s and 1860. Buildings are brightened by a late afternoon sun setting in the west.
Thanks for stopping by,
Bill:)

Thanks Bill for posting this. It's so different from anything we have in Oz. Even though I lived in the US for quite a while, I never made it down your way. It's beautiful to see such wonderful countryside. Visiting your part of the world is definitely on my list of things to do! Is that a haystack in front? I'm sorry if that is a dumb question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is just something about hay rolls. Like a way they run through a picture.

Wonderful farm scene, Bill!! So pristine and clean around the barns! Shows how much they care about their place, even if somewhat sterile. Very nicely done!!!

I would love to see this place again in the late spring or early summer ... if you go for another drive out that way! :) It's a beautiful place, and the contrast between bare trees and all leafed out would be amazing!

Superlative POV, DOF and lighting in this grand vista, Bill! But, hay rolls? At first glance I could have sworn those were spools of barbed wire. Or better yet, a giant version of a garage door mechanism screwlike rod.

Beautiful Bill. I have never seen a roll of hay that long. How do they transport it?

oh, beautiful, the beauty of the gently rolling plain, you capture its poetry in your gallery many times. I've seen these hay rolls, but in your picture they have an almost grayish-silvery quality, like they were metal cable or even old twine. Amazing effect. I notice how often you capture landscapes with angles, to break the 'box' and allow us to see several angles at once. (Esp important in the US Midwest where boxy captures are all too common.) The trees in the background are soft, and that sky could almost be an ocean or some hills. And because of your angle, we see the farm & related buildings spread across the landscape very nicely. I'm close to this part of the world, this is a definite fav for me.
