These are images that I made on the way to Cornish, NH and home again. One is from Vermont from a brief stop I made there. There was nice light for color images that day.

My husband and I drove out to Washington, NH on Saturday, as we had never been there. As your photos indicate, it was well worth the drive!
It’s a really pretty town center. Were they having the farmer’s market when you were there?
Yes, the farmer’s market was in full swing. It took up most of the town center!
this place is incredible!
I am fascinated by those old barns…it seemed to speak so much of a story…
I know. Wouldn’t it be great to know about the people who lived and worked here?
That’s right reminds me of the civil war era…though i am not for US but history and literature is what i am passionate about aside from poetry.
It probably is from that era. I enjoy history also and read a lot of history books. I tend to focus mainly on US history but sometimes read about other places and times. What history interests you most?
For US history i love the time of Abe Lincoln..i felt like it characterized what America is today. And for world history i love the pre world war 2 era.
had a year that I spent a lot of time reading about the Civil War and had a couple of trips that included visits to Gettysburg and Antietam battlefields. It was a terrible and yet defining time in our country’s history. I’ve read a lot on WWII also because both of my grandfathers served in the war.
That is wonderful…i have been reading about the civil wat era and i am time and time again drawn by the fact that America has changed a lot…in a really good way.
Thank you. We are still haunted by remnants of that time but keep striving towards something better.
That large trebuchet and the old barn caught my eyes. 😍
I’m glad you liked them. It’s amazing what I find driving backroads in between the covered bridges. Have a great day.
The trebuchet is way cool!
Yeah, it can throw things far.
Like chunkin punkins?
Exactamente!
The trebuchet photo is wonderful! Do you have photos of it being used? I would love to see that. The last photo is a beauty–that is one huge flag.
Thank you. I likeed the flag.

This was great! Thanks, Chris.
The white and blue feels so fresh…enjoy being outside Chris ~ have a joyful week Hedy ☀️☀️☺️😎
I love getting out to make these images. Have a great day, Hedy.
I love the town center. Interesting that many are all white. I am fascinated by lumber mills and love the smell of freshly milled trees (I wish we didn’t have to cut down so many). My grandfather worked at a lumber mill in Eastern Idaho and I remember visiting at a very young age and thinking “that’s what I want to do when I grow up.” Grateful now I chose an alternate path, but still love seeing mills. Great post!
Thank you. I’m not sure how the trend of white churches and town halls started but many in our area are painted white. I also find lumber mills fascinating. Occasionally in my travels, I encounter people who do tree work and their level of fitness is astounding. On the other hand, it’s not easy work and the risk is substantial.
Great historical imagery here Chris! I am always curious about the history of barns. The family history, if it was passed down, how many times…etc. I’m sure it’s hard to know these things but it would be an interesting story is my guess. Thank you for sharing your adventure! Take good care
Same here. There are two barns here I’d love to know more about. I’m glad you enjoyed the adventure. Have a great evening, my friend.
Thank you Chris! Will do, you do the same. 😊
As always, amazing captures Chris! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
