Wow, it is defying gravity. I'm with Donna, how do you find all these great places? You find some of the more incredible barns. However you do it Sunny, great work. Judy
OMG,it surely looks as if it's ready to come crashing to the ground.... What is keeping it from doing so ? Wonderful pictures, you always have something beautiful and intersesting to share.
Maybe it is frozen in place, watch out...come a thaw! At first glance, I instantly tilted my head...that didn't work, then I smiled! Great photo Sunny!
Sunny...you didn't lead me astray by suggesting that I visit your blog today! This is awesome! You have your own leaning tower of "Pisa" up there in New England! It is a good thing that you took this picture...it won't be around for long. I noticed last week that a picture of one of our old houses downtown that I took a picture of last year is now gone and there is only a gavel square where it used to be.
Leaning tower of silo... The bracing is just good enough that it might stand there for another 50 years or so. It does kind of keep one unnerved if they had to see it all of the time. I am sitting in the window in the sun watching two squirrels take turns devouring my bird seed. I keep sending the border collie out to send them back to their expensive corn that I bought for them. OH well. Have a good day.
Thank you all for your comments. I will take another picture of the silo in Spring; hopefully it is still standing.
To Donna ~ No, I don't scout everyday but I always have my camera with me. I am fortunate to be a rural area that has many farms, barns and farm animals. I usually set aside a few hours, one day a week to go 'exploring', and for the most part, it's not far from home.
Great photo, Sunny! There is a barn in Washington that has been leaning like this for a long time. I don't know what keeps them up. It always seems to me a shame when an old barn or house collapses. It's another piece of the past gone.
From the shores of New England to the Oregon coast, I would like to share some of the places that I've been and things that I've seen.
As we travel you may notice; there is an emphasis on Massachusetts...my home state, you will see a lot of barns...that I love, whether old, new or dilapidated, we are not traveling in any particular direction, and we may visit some places more than once.
Please enjoy my American Photo Journey and your comments are welcomed!

The photo in the title...
features the Far Away Farm in Ashfield, Massachusetts.
I was born in my grandmother's old mill house in Cornwall, England and came to the USA with my parents in 1958. My Dad was in the RAF and as a child I lived in many different locations in England and even the Rock of Gibraltar.
Massachusetts has always been home in the US except for a brief period when I resided in Idaho, giving me a chance to explore the Great American West. For nearly 30 years I lived on Cape Cod before my husband and I moved back to the mountains* of Massachusetts with our Goldendoodle Lucy, and our cats, Lilly and Molly. I am also the mother of a grown son.
*Some of you would call them hills but they're mountains to me!

Oh my! That is so awesome! And a wonderful photo as well!
Sunny, I want to know, are you out scouting about every day? And, where in the heck to you find these places? Great work, again and again.

Isn't it dangerous? :)
Wonderful shot, congratulations Sunny!

Oau ! Beautiful !
Fantastic find and beautiful photo. I wonder how much longer it will stand up. It would be interesting to see it again in a different season.

Move over leaning tower of Pisa. You've got a contender here.

What a great picture! I can't believe it has not toppled over, but I guess it's only a matter of time.
Oh my goodness, what keeps it from falling over?
Wow, Sunny, that is so cool! I'm with the other commentors. You always find the neatest things to photograph!

this would really like to see in person. I am sitting here wondering how it is still standing. Like this shot very much. It looks very, very old.

This is awesome!
To me it looks like it's leaning over to take a nibble on the branches. ;o) Interesting what perspective can do with the imagination!
That silo puts the tower of Pisa to shame. What a great picture.
Is that normal, Sunny? Excellent photography. (((Hugs))) Jo

The Leaning Tower of - Hay?
Great picture, Sunny.... I wouldn't want to stand on the leaning side of that silo though!!!!! ha

Amazing.
Newton went to school in my town and was born a few miles from here, where he discovered gravity, when the apple fell.
Haha I love it! Sunny you get the greatest pictures! :)
Great picture...don't want to be on that side when there a stiff wind blowing.

That's amazing!

You have the most wonderful eye Sunny!! Does Lucy help you discover all these wonderful places??
I think Mr. Newton would say to not get caught underneath that thing when it finally falls.
oh my, i'm surprised that the weight of the snow didn't take it down. Pure Yankee stubbornness, i reckon! ;)
