Farm Panorama


Above is a panorama of our fields/pastures. Our house is just visible behind and to the left of our barn. Our property runs behind several properties and is nominally in the shape of a L. The barn off in the distance is our neighbors. Our turkeys are in the foreground, the mobile layer coop is near the middle and the pig and goat pens are near the right side beyond the market garden.

We had some friends visit us over the long 4th of July holiday. Tom is a painter and has been doing a series of landscapes "to celebrate the beauty, history and reality of life...". While he and his family were visiting he started doing a landscape of our pastures from this perspective. The painting came out so well that I stole the composition for the above photo. We already told him that we want to buy the painting from him after he uses it in an upcoming exhibition.
