Driving along the top of the state I stumbled upon this. And more.

On this property are a circa 1830 brick home that obviously was built for a wealthy family, several barns, a stone smokehouse and the current owner’s contemporary brick home.

Oh yeah, there were also several NO TRESSPASSING signs.

I parked at the beginning of the driveway and walked to the owner’s house whereI knocked first on the front door and then the kitchen door. A lady came to the door and saw I was holding my camera up as I said I was s photographer. She asked if I saw the signs up by the mailbox. I asked “The no TRESSPASSING signs?”  She firmly said yes! I said “Yes ma’am. That is why I was careful to walk only down the driveway and nowhere else. “.

I made a bit of small talk and then asked if I was careful, could I photograph the buildings. She told me that I could not go into them. I assured her I would stay well clear of them. She smiled and said “Go ahead. And then be gone.”. I thanked her and did exactly that.

I can’t wait to get the images out of the camera.

1. Cheers.
