County Route 49 In Brasher, New York

I crossed the St. Regis River from the town of Stockholm to the town of Brasher, NY on a short section of County Route 49:

And passed by a small shed and two old, abandoned silos:

This old farm house sits close to the edge of the St. Regis River:

And the St. Regis River runs for quite a distance along this section of road. Its surface was frozen and snow covered, so in many places it was hard to tell where the land ended and the river began:

I was struck by this section of snow laden tree. Once I got a closer look at the picture, however, I noticed that the entire top section of the tree was missing, probably lopped off by the power company so as not to endanger the power line:

A ranch style home with a double garage. These are folks who, like me, enjoy country living:

Rows of hay bales. I didn't see any cattle, but I'm sure they weren't too far away:

A steel-clad barn in such good shape that I couldn't tell if it was of new or old-but-restored construction:

A small, old house with a big porch and a Cedar tree, up on a hill:

A dump truck in a field full of small piles, apparently fill from some other site:

A small shed in the woods, perhaps a hunting cabin from long ago. There didn't appear to be much left of it anymore:

I ended my brief driving tour at this pleasant home. I don't know what that tower behind it is, but I suppose it must be some kind of antenna:

Old Market Road - Part 3

I was taking a driving photo tour on Old Market Road in the town of Stockholm, NY (see also previous two posts). I was nearing the end of the road when I passed these outbuildings and trucks:

And a fleet of large dump trucks, all bearing the name of an excavating firm:

I continued to pass through snowy woodlands along the road:

I wish I'd gotten a better photo of this place. It seemed to me to have once been a small home, but was now a farm outbuilding. I'd love to know its history:

The sun came out just as I snapped this picture, showing the beauty I found all along Old Market Road:

An old farm house with a wonderful front porch:

A homey, comfortable looking home and garage:

This was probably an old farm house to which many additions had been added over the years:

An old Colonial style farm house behind big maples:

A small, woodsy place, tucked back behind the trees and possibly not noticed by people speeding by on their way to and from work:

At the end of Old Market Road was this abandoned home:

And my last photo of the day was of this brown house and garage, set behind a gnarly old maple:
