  • Roadside Vermont

    Early this morning,

    I had the task of driving to a friends house 30 miles away in Williamstown, VT to pick up a large metal shelf (Thank you, Vanessa!). I brought my camera along in hopes of making and adventure out of the drive. On the way down, I was pretty determined on getting the shelf, so I didn’t end up stopping at all. I did hear about a sock sale going on at the Cabot Hosiery Factory, so I ventured to that location afterward. I drove from over to Northfield to go to the sale for the first time. There were hundreds of people and thousands of socks. I ended up almost filling my bag, so I think I’ll be prepared for this winter (and Christmas)!

    After handing over the Benjamin and leaving the sock sale, my new goal was to find interesting places to get some photos of the Vermont roadside landscape. I took main roads and ventured off onto side roads that seemed like they could be promising.

    I saw some neat architecture and forgotten structures that really stood out on this dismal November morning. I stopped where I could, sometimes (many times) turning around to stop and take a few photos. The rest of this will be a presentation of the photos in order taken, with possible captions for some description.

    Enjoy 🙂

    Far from the road was this little white shack. An unmarked police car was following me, so it seemed proper to turn off the road, turn around and take this photo.

    I decided to head up a dirt road, found this house and love the look of it. I hope they don’t mind 😉 Alternate vision on Instagram soon. @d.f0m

    Lastly, a shack I’ve passed by many times, but finally stopped.
