Description
Another one captured from the moving 1880's train. This home owner was baling his field the day we toured the Black Hills. It reminded me of my grandpa saying, "Make hay while the sun shines!"
The dark portion in the lower left corner is part of the paved road that paralleled & crisscrossed the track we were traveling on.
Thanks for visiting and commenting. Hope you are enjoying my trip as I relive it here! My last upload was "Caboose in Oblivion".

Jodie, I really like this photo. I have not been to either of the Dakotas and your images are a small vacation. That farm is lovely and the house is quite different than expected..very nice.

Beautiful shot - and the cutting of the meadow hay. I would have guessed Estes Park, CO. Everywhere looks alike, I guess (ha).

I can honestly say that my grandfather never said "make hay". Whether in old Chicago or in Minsk, "hay" wasn't a big concept in my grandparents' world. (Gramps'd say, "you mean for deh horseys? Deh horseys?" Yep, we were rugged types...) Another beauty. You better post an awful shot 'cause I'm gettin' tired of the beauty from this trip! Beautiful slope, beautiful light & clarity in the trees...but not too much clarity, because you never remove atmosphere. (A lot of photographers eradicate atmosphere: You embrace its music.) And the light on those beautiful orange buildings is wonderful...and a nice big saturated-blue sky. Nature's PS. A beautiful shot. (My grandfather'd also say: "So what's so good about hay? All day long they eat hay? A good omelette they wouldn't eat? A blintz?" As you can see, I come from a long line of comedians...)
