Barns – 14
June 24, 2011
We just came back from a short trip to Ithaca NY. From our house it is a little over 4 hours each way. As we continue on the college trail, we took our son to see Ithaca College. He really liked the school so it was a good trip. Now we live in Fairfield County Connecticut, a very suburban area. When I think of NY, I think of New York City and Westchester County. My first thoughts are never of farms. Well this image is quite common on the way to Ithaca.
Ithaca itself ranked as the #1 “Best College Town” (under 250,000 pop.) by American Institute for Economic Research, Sept. ‘10. I must add that Cornell University is also located there.

My World in 2011 
This is a great shot! I especially love that you’ve included the silo.
What a great shot! I love old barns.
Looks prosperous though, and BIG!
like your processing of the pictouresque barn!
Love the peaceful country scene!
I never pictured barns in that area either….love this shot…so relaxing and peaceful!
The Ithaca area is really beautiful and other parts of upstate NY, too. I went to Hartwick College in Oneonta – another beautiful area. Nice barn photo…
I like this a lot – I love the line of grass/wheat drawing my eye toward the barn.
The soft focus adds a sense of nostalgia.
I love the way you’ve processed this – looks very dreamy and old-worldy…
That’s a really large barn, sounds like your trip was very scenic with images like this along the way.
