West Potsdam To Morley, New York - Part 2

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:

The Village Of Burke, New York - Part 2

I was taking a driving tour of the small village of Burke, New York, in Franklin County (see Part 1, yesterday). They had a New Holland tractor dealer:

I sure did enjoy photographing some of the picturesque farms:

This antique automobile sat out on someone's manicured lawn:

And there were lots of old barns in terrific shape:

A large and modern fire station:

Lots of homes with front porches and porch swings:

There were still some pumpkins decorating folks' front steps:

There were also modern barns and some very large farms:

A field of horses with what I supposed was Canada off on the northern horizon:

An old barn in excellent shape:

And another old barn, this one with several additions. But Burke was tiny and I'd pretty much seen all of it, so I put my camera away and continued on toward home:
