Old Farm and Windmill

I always liked this old farm along McKenzie View Drive for some time, but never stopped to get a photograph of it. It is not an easy place to stop, as indicated in the photo. The road passes right by it but there isn't any place to pull off the road. I parked a ways back from the bend in the road and walked along the road to what I considered a good spot. This is the result. I love that old windmill. The modern road and wires were likely not there when the farm was new, but they are part of the landscape now, so I prefer to leave them. They show the encroachment of the modern world, so that the farm is only a remnant of what it once was.

A post card image nicely captured. That wind mill look like a unique structure, but I would not want to climb that ladder! Voted.

What a pretty place. Love that raised building and curve in the road. I too would take the power line out. But it is what is there, right? Linda S

Very attractive rural scene. I like the addition of the modern road and wires, showing how old can blend seamlessly with new.

visually appealing, and a fine reminder of earlier times...the windmill tower is fascinating..

While living in Eugene, this scene was on one of my regular bicycling routes. I appreciated the owners have kept the barn and water tower in excellent condition. Something from another era.
