Who tends the animals in the photo? Or was this taken before the farm’s owner left the place?
Nice pastoral image, even if it’s tilted a bit to the right.

I took this photo standing on my property looking over a fence at the farm next door. Sadly the farm has been abandoned. The farmer struck it rich when "Fracking gas" was discovered on the land. The farmer sold the property to a trucking company that only uses the frontage next to a highway. All of the rest of this land is returning to nature. The weeds are over six feet high. I miss that old farmer and his animals.
Nice shot Dave

Just seeing your photo makes me miss the old farmer and his animals too. I wonder where he ended up, and if it was worth it. I kind of suspect not.

Could it have been autumn when this was taken? It sure is a lovely image!
I looked at the meta data. The photo was taken October 13th, 2011. Yep, Fall.

I'm told by a mutual friend that he used the money he got from the sale of this land and the money he got from fracking to buy a bigger better farm elsewhere. I hope he is happy. I miss him and his animals. The good news is that all this land adjoins my property and no one is using it. I'm free to hike it anytime I care to as it returns to nature. I hiked it this Spring looking for morel mushrooms. I did not find any but there is meandering stream leading to a small pond and a beautiful hidden shady hill side. I'll return with my camera.
