Old farm silos in Matakohe


I just love countryside - these old farm silos and barn are located in Matakohe, on the Kauri Coast in the Kaipara region of Northland. It use to be a regular feature when I worked up this way a few years back.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday :-)

What a beautiful photo, Amy! I've never seen New Zealand and, while it isn't REALLY too late, I think it's probably practically too late. The scenery, however, is not unlike parts of Western Canada, especially this lovely farm.

Not many of these silos where I live. I like seeing them though.

If I'm honest I can take or leave silos but barns - particularly old and semi-derelict barns - give me goose bumps of joy (especially if I have a camera in my hand).

It amazes me sometimes how similar rural landscapes can be across the world. This scene reminds me of some of what I see here in Oklahoma, USA.

I love scenes like this too! When I visit my sister in Missouri, I always take a drive along the country roads to photograph the farms along the way.

I like farmland scenes too -- this really does remind me of what we've seen when we RVd through farm country (Yogi above is right). I really like how you show us so many aspects of your beautiful country!
