Scenic Farms On Route 345 - Part 1

I was on my way home from the swap meet (previous two posts) on Route 345, which runs between the towns of Potsdam and Madrid, New York. There were so many scenic farms that I decided to photograph some of them. I began with this collection of hay bales, hay wagons and other farm equipment, with a red barn in the background:

An old farm house with double chimneys, all covered with vines and bushes:

Two handsome horses:

A red brick farm house with barn:

A farm house with extra large chimney:

A classic red barn:

Twin silos and a collection of outbuildings:

Yes, I know this isn't a farm, but this old fashioned gas station was so picturesque and brought back such memories that I couldn't resist snapping a photo. I only wished it was still in business:

Large barn with a John Deere tractor. There was still more to see, though, and I'll post Part 2 tomorrow:
