Silo and Autumn Beginnings

I was returning home from a weekend trip, yesterday, and came upon this setting, and had to take the photograph through the window of the car (no, I wasn’t driving).

The tranquility of the scene overwhelmed my senses. Autumn beginnings, nature blended with the nostalgic man-made silo and storage shed…these combined, evoked such a sense of serenity within me.

There is something about farms, farmland, meadows, fields, silos, barns, sheds, hay bales, woods/forest, that allows me to remember and recall place and time, moments long ago during my childhood, surrounded by rural settings on the perimeter of the subdivision that my house was located in. I loved the natural environment, the old and weathered farm structures, the woods I would spend hours in.

And, here I am, many, many, years later, nestled within the same type of setting, my home surrounded by woods and farmland, my daily walks out of my subdivision, are filled with the essences of these blendings…nature and man-made. I look out of my front window, my backyard, and see a forest, see a bit of wildlife, hear the birds chirping, as I watch them flit about. The beautiful nature is equal to the beauty of the nostalgic structures, reminding me of a time when…yes, reminding me of a moment, hour, day, a time when…
