I wanted a wider view of Judy for this portrait. She found a pair of these chairs at a yard sale and had to have them.

If you look east down Main Street towards Mount Logan you’ll see a solitary farm nestled in a clearing along that ridge. This is a view of it in early spring when the trees were beginning to bud and the grass was turning green. (Large View)

If you stand on Carlisle Hill and look towards the East, you can see forever down the length of Main Street. This may be my favorite view of Chillicothe and its surrounding terrain.

It’s always a pleasure to see this large valley open-up towards the north just before entering Adelphia on Route 180. The road ascends a small grade where a cemetery rests, and from there you can view a beautiful panoramic scene that stretches for miles.

This farm rests just north of Circleville where Route 104 crosses Darby Creek. The complex of buildings used to include a Victorian style home which was razed a couple of years earlier. The remaining buildings took on a loneliness after its departure.

This church dates back to the mid 1800′s and is rich with history. It was part of the Underground Railroad that helped slaves from the South find freedom in the North during abolition.

I traveled around Ross County early one Sunday morning taking photos of churches. I rolled into Kingston and turned onto one of its backstreets to find this beautiful church.

Cornfields surround this church on Route 104 just south of Yellowbud. It was a challenge trying to find an interesting perspective to frame the building. I felt it was more dramatic keeping the horizon line low from this angle, with the roof appearing to point towards the heavens.

I wanted to paint this farmstead from this perspective. It best illustrates the size of this complex of buildings. This is what you see if you stop at the bridge and look back towards Chillicothe.

Somewhere halfway to Londonderry on US 50, is a farm that has the longest barn I’ve ever seen. During the fall, it comes into better view when the trees that surround it go bare.
