I was on my way to the town of Morley, but currently in the hamlet of West Potsdam, New York. The houses there were mostly historic:
Most of West Potsdam overlooked farm fields and forests and most homes looked to have begun their existence as farm houses:
It was a lovely day for taking photos of classic rural scenery - as long as I kept the sun behind me. There were photos I couldn't take because the camera would have been looking straight into the sun. I realized after I got home that this was an Amish farm, and there's an Amish man just to the right of the silo base:
This too was an Amish farm, and two men were working out behind the house. I wondered how they got those big logs stacked up. It must have required some heavy equipment:
This classic old church didn't have a sign and I wondered if it was still a church or on its way to becoming a town hall or some other public building:
But West Potsdam was tiny and I had a long way yet to go before I arrived in Morley. So I continued on my way, passing many more scenic old farmsteads:
Set way back behind the trees, this woodsy place might have been a vacation cottage or someone's year 'round home - I couldn't tell:
A beautifully restored old farm house, with firewood and a porch swing:
Two red barns, both is excellent condition:
This old barn was currently being used to store the family's motor home:
Another lovely old farm house:
This equipment shed seemed to house several hay balers:
I passed through a tiny settlement called Bucks Bridge, which included this farm. But there are more photos to share from this scenic drive, and I'll post Part 3 tomorrow:
