This is the other gallery of images that I made when we visited Old Sturbridge Village a couple of weeks ago. With warmer temperatures and some rain, the snow is quickly melting. We may finally get some spring image in a week or two.
Great shots, Chris! Just wanted to ask what the kiln is used for but you already told it ๐ It’s extremely difficult to control the temperatures for the firing that way, and I prefer my electric one but would definitely love to try this one too. It seems huge but I guess the biggest part is used for the wood…
Thank you, Sarah. We spoke with the potter. He says he only uses it once a year or so and fills it with many, many pieces. I’m guessing that would be something to see. Cheers!
He made it sound like they saved up pottery and fired it all at once. That was probably how they did it years ago. Being a potter in the country was not a full time job.
It’s been over a month since I attended to my blog and so I have much catching up to do with many blogs to visit but I smiled when I saw yours because I enjoy your New England vibe.
“I see ewe”….too funny! The photo of the ox is wonderful.
Thank you, Lois. I had a good photo shoot with the ox. He was a good model.
Looks like a cool place to visit and c’mon spring! Although now we are getting lots of spring showers…LOTS.
Same here. Most of last week’s snow is gone.
Glad you are getting some spring. What is the brick structure that looks like a bee hive?
Us too. It is a kiln for the potter.
Duh! Thanks!
It’s not so straight-forward. I saw a similar one in Ireland that was used to cook limestone to make whitewash for homes.
Awesome! I call it rustic photos. Love it!๐
Thank you, Garfield. Cheers!
Nice Photos!
Thank you so much. You have a wonderful museum. ๐

That makes sense, Iยดm sure he uses an electric one for the rest of the year ๐ Cheers!

Nice horns…he’s looking at you Chris ๐
Ha ha ha. Yes, he was a very cooperative subject. I made many exposures of him. I think he is a Vogue ox. ๐
indeed Chris…his gaze says it all ๐
oh what a cool place – pun intended – ha!
Ha ha ha. Funny ๐
Beautiful collection of images! I really like the first one with the person tending to those big pots over the fire.
Thank you. They were boiling sap to make maple syrup. Cheers
