Jenne Farm is so idyllic that (according to Wikipedia) it has been used in movies like Forrest Gump, a Budweiser TV commercial, and is known to be one of the most photographed farms in America.
Since discovering Jenne Road, I've made a habit of taking a detour past the farm a few times a week on the way back from town. When it's foggy I want to see the clouds laying low in the valley, and when it's sunny and clear I want to see the long range views. Today we drove past to see how the foliage was coming along, and a group of art students were camped on a grassy mound with canvases and brushes, painting away. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday afternoon, I'd say.
My photos do no justice to the vastness of the place. Have you ever found an amazing view and snapped a photo, only to find that your little camera screen cannot capture even 10% of its expanse and beauty? That's how I feel about these photos, but at least they're something.
Thanks so much for these refreshing photos on a Monday morning! Yes, I've taken photos of the picturesque views in Nevada, but they didn't capture a tenth of the grandeur. Very disappointing. You almost need to have a special type of camera to get a decent panoramic view, don't you?
ReplyDeleteAgreed, a panoramic setting or camera would be much better. I thought about taking a sequence of photos then overlapping them together to make one panoramic shot, but then I got lazy, ha!
DeleteWe visited New England last fall (it will be a year next week) and this was one of my favorite stops. I had to dig a little online to find instructions on exactly how to find the turnoff, but it was worth it. This was one of the most idyllic views I have ever experienced. There were probably 15-20 people there when we drove up. I must admit that I felt guilty for intruding on the owners' privacy. I can't imagine what it's like to have people in your driveway all the time, but when I dream of moving to Vermont, this is the view that I see in my head. ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, so you know what I mean! It's a magical spot. I agree, they must get tired of all the peepers, especially this time of year. The longer we have been in VT the more spots like this we find. There are some unbelievable spots even more stunning (if that's possible) way back on the country roads that are hard to find. I need to be better about bringing my camera when we go for drives so I can share them here...
DeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever read Longest Acres blog by Kate MacLean? She also recently moved to Vermont. Might be nice to have another contact there!
Yes, I love Longest Acres! I started reading it even before moving to VT, and once we moved I got in touch with Kate. She is a sweetheart. Unfortunately we live about 2.5 hours away from each other. It is amazing how long it takes to get places in this tiny state!
