I grew up in Vermont, but I now live in Colorado and do only western landscapes. I to miss and love Vermont. I am hoping this string will show images that capture the unique and distinctive essence of Vermont and its people. The three images shown above are very good, but they could have been taken any where.

Ted Harris's image is closer to the Vermont I remmeber.

[Joseph Kayne]

How about this one, Stephen? Great images guys!!!

Joe.

Joseph, that images brings back a flood emotions and memories. How I long to return to my roots of quaint small towns with church steeples all painted in white. Growing up in Vermont entitled me to an enchanting childhood where I played under the protection of towering canopies of sugar maple trees and fields of lush green grass.


Have you got any others?

By the way... this thread reminds me to mention that, about three years ago, Ted connected with the NPS folks at the Marsh Billings Rockefeller estate in Woodstock, VT (about half an hour from our house), and had made a good deal of progress on the way to getting permission to photograph the art there... and, I think I remember, was either able to or going to see negatives from Carleton Watkins' photographs, which are archived there as well. He was pretty excited about it... maybe something someone else close by would be interested in too.

While he was immersed in the library at the estate, I would go see the cows at Billings Farm... happy days in Woodstock :)

My parents moved to Vermont right after I graduated from High School in 1979, and while I've taken many pictures there none are on LF gear :(

[Robert Budding]

Fantastic shots, Joseph. They made me smile.

Yes Jospeh, there is lots of red barns. You cannot dwell in Vermont without having a red barn. Red barns, white homesteads, and a sugar maple shack out back is an integral part of the farming culture in Vermont. It is very much holistic with an independent people seeking self sufficiency.

After seeing this string, I went out and bought my wife and I some plane tickets to Vermont for late fall. I have no intentions of bring my camera. I do not want any distractions except with my interactions with the people, the land, and the colonial architecture.

Hmm, I can smell that thick moist air and the decaying fall leaves as I write this...

I used to live just across the Ottauquechee River from the Billing estate on Elm St. two houses down on the east side in a restored slate cottage that was recessed about 70 yards in from Elm Street. I loved Woodstock, and I used to take walks on the Billings estate all the time. There was a beautiful old barn with an amazing green copper roof in the forest about a 1/4 mile behind the main house. We shopped at Gillinghams for most of our provisions, and my daughter was born in Woodstock. Wow, my brain is being washed out with all of these amazing memories that I have not thought about in years...

Stephen, even if you don't bring your camera, you really may want to stop by the M-B-R house and talk with one of the rangers about the Watkins photos and the archived materials... Annette (the curator, if you will?) was very "giving" with info and look-sees. Feel free to mention "Ted Harris" if you do... my name won't mean anything to her, but his will.

Don't forget brunch at the Inn on Sunday... :)

[Stephen Willard]

ASRafferty, will do. Ah yes, brunch at the Inn. I had forgotten all about those. We use to have brunch there every Sunday at the Woodstock Inn.

Richard, Great photo pitting old against new technology. Does this imply a "tug of war" was about to take place?

No just removing a lawn ornament. Most true Vermonter's have at less one abandon car in their front yard.

[Hany Aziz]

Typical Vermont street scene.

Sincerely,

I thought there was something about Vermont that reminded me of home (Citronelle, Alabama).

Here are a few sheets (http://www.brettsimison.com/gallery/vermont/1/) of some Vermont work I've gathered over the last year.

Knowing the exact location of this image just brings a :D

You are all just jealous that you don't have bovines in YOUR front yard.

BTW, they've reduced my mowing by 75%.

Just don't tell my son, or else I'll have bovines in my front yard :eek:

Maybe I should think about renting a pair of bovine to reduce my mowing. I don't think my neighbors would like it though. :)

While the two Milking Shorthorns towing the bulldozer are training to be oxen, there was an Angus (a nasty brute) at Mike's farm who was about the same age. He broke out of the trailer on the "one way ride," and Mike and my wife spent an hour and a half in the pouring rain rounding him up out of the bushes.

But I can report that he tastes really good, and there's a lot of him still in the freezer.

Oh, and here's Hillary right-side-up. This one's a little old, but she's like fine wine.
