I went out exploring last Sunday morning and ended up at the top of the hill of Windy Hill Orchard in Greenville, NH. (And yes, it was windy on said hill…and freezing.) Coming up the road, I had this expansive view of the field and the hills and mountains in the distance. There was a driveway or dirt road that made the perfect place to park to take a photo. And, as you can likely guess, social distancing was not an issue here.
I’ve been looking for an excuse to get out in the country of North Dakota and capture some rural scenes. I’ve only been waiting for the trees to get some leaves (and for it to warm up a bit.) Your image makes my travlin’ feet itchy to go out and drive.
I’ve had a few shoots in mind but have also waited for leaves to appear. They are pretty much out now. I’ve been skittish about going south into Massachusetts because the number of cases of COVID is so much higher there. Most of my shoots have been close to home.
Our state is fortunate in having low numbers, but as it turns out, my county is one of the “hot spots” in the state. Stay safe.
You too.
My husband and I are thinking of doing that this weekend. (We also live in NH.)
The hills are alive!!! Yes, great expanse of space…so nice to be out and about👍😊🌞
I am fortunate to be able to get out and about. So many views in our area are rather short, due to the trees. This gives a sense of wide open space.
Lovely share. Take care
Wide open spaces. 👁👁🍃
Very wide open. 😀
A hill with a view and social distancing!
What more could one want?
A nice picnic basket full of goodies 🙂
That would be awesome.
That was my great grandfather’s farm.
Oh really. It’s a beautiful place.
the colors are stunning… this makes me long for quiet walks among nature… where there is space, so much space away from the city… love this shot, Chris!!
Thank you so much, Alex. We are fortunate to have beautiful forests and farmlands here. Have a great day!
Can’t ask for anything more. Beautiful view! No people! And you are at the top!
The tri-fecta! Thank you, Nancy.
So beautiful 👍
Thank you. It was a beautiful place.
It is indeed.
What a great view! I like how you captured the orchard too. Wide open space. Hey we made it to Friday! Hope you’re having a great night!
It is an awesome view. I want to go back in summer and fall. Yay, it’s Friday. It was pizza and a beer tonight. I hope you’re having a great night also.
You really know how to celebrate the end of the week, Chris! We are enjoying ice cream sundaes😋 take good care!
Oh, ice cream sundaes! You also know how to celebrate. We have to celebrate the small victories! Take care.
So lovely! 😍 It’s quite a challenge to find such desolate places here – I quite envy you!😂
