Lincoln Yesterday and Today

Lincoln, Massachusetts USA is a small town just 25 minutes from Boston.
Paul Revere rode through it on his way to Concord -- the beginning of the Revolutionary War.
The town works hard to maintain its rural flavor and open
land amidst the technology firms and sprawling urban towns around it .

1/160s f/4.0 at 8.6mm (35mm equivalent: 44mm) full exif

Your picture causes me to be homesick. My lifestyle patterned after the sonwbirds, that is, I lived in southern California in the winter and in Alaska durning the summer months. In Alaska, we (the remote community I lived in of aprox. 100) logged when the rivers frozed over, ran a sawmill in the spring & fall, and during the summer months constructed log homes & farmed, that is, crops, grain, cattle, sheep, pigs, cows, riding horses, and drafthorses. Most of the food crop planting and harvesting was done by animals rather than by manhinery. We also relied upon either horses or mules to bring the hunted moose from off the mountain. Everyone perferred moose rather than beef. Our way of life is very simular to that of frontier homesteaders, in fact, the community evolved because of the Alaskan Homestead Act in 1972. Thanks for posting the picture.
