One of the coolest places that I visited during my recent photo workshop was the Inn at Mountain View Farm in East Burke, VT. The inn is located on a 440-acre historic farm on top of a mountain with picturesque views of the surrounding Vermont countryside. One of our workshop leaders had arranged for the Inn and all of the surrounding farm buildings on the property to be available to be photographed.
In one of the old stables, I found what I believe is a storage basket that probably holds hay. The way it was shaped led me to believe that, when full, the horses could reach up and eat the hay. The light coming through the window was wonderful and lit the weathered wood, giving it a golden glow.
All in all, we spent several hours at the Inn shooting images. We could have spent at least a week there. I hope to revisit with my wife sometime in the near future to get the full experience. Click here to find out more about the Inn.
Wow, I love this picture! Beautiful light!

Painting with light. A real feel of warmth to this. I’m sure you’re right, Len, I’ve seen Hay holders like this before. It’s the small details that can create the great images - you got one here.

I love this photo! excellent warm light!
The light in this image is fantastic. I like the juxtaposition of the vertical bars of the hay cage leading to the bright square of light shining through the window.
