Andrea:  I am trying to figure this one out.  A very tall smokestack ?  Maybe one of those gigundo trash chutes they have on under-construction buildings ?  Anyway... thanks for sharing... but... what is it ?   LOL.

I'm also trying to figure out what I'm looking at :) .... interesting pic anyway!

Maybe it's just because it's still very early here in LA .... and I'm still on my first cup of coffee

Posted by Stewart Penn - Los Angeles Real Estate (Penn Properties) almost 3 years ago

This is an old cement stave silo, the stack you see is where the ladder is. That is bittersweet  crawling up the side, which has overtaken this silo! In the fall it will be spectacular, I love bittersweet vines!

Kat, thanks for stopping by.

Karen, LOL, there is the answer to your question! You should have known with me it was some farm thing, I am too easy.

Stewart, well, I am also on my first cup, but you ARE EARLY! Or did you not go to bed yet??? Thanks.

Andrea is that the fairy princess castle? My daughters would have a great time with that one.

Bridget, thank you!

Steve, yes, that is it actually. I live in Jack and the Beanstalk land, LOL, now you have let the cat out of the bag. I spend most of my days at the top of this tower here waiting and waiting.... :D

Rapunzel.....Beautiful picture.

Hi Andrea-Looks like you were laying on the ground to get that photo. I love it. Have a wonderful day. <SMILE>

Posted by Sharon Lee (Sharon Lee's Virtual Assistance) almost 3 years ago

What a refreshing perspective you offer, Andrea - and not just with this picture!

Posted by Irene Kennedy Realtor® in Northwestern NJ (Weichert) almost 3 years ago

Linda, LOL, why thank you!

Sharon, not quite, would have been to hard to get back up again. Almost though. Thank you!

Irene, what a wonderful thing to say, I am blushing, thank you so much!

Andrea - I wish we still had the old silo at the farm. They are few and far between these days. Of course your photo is a different type of silo, but same principal. Nice angle.

Posted by Judy Jennings - The Green Company at The Pinehills, Plymouth MA (508-209-5000) almost 3 years ago

Judy, I have more silo pictures, tell me what type of silo and I will make it so! Thank you so much! A wooden one? A Harvestore? I have pictures of many different ones. Silos are great aren't they? Funny thing is that people who just drive by and enjoy them have no idea of the dangers of a silo.

Posted by Andrea Swiedler - Swiedler & Adams - New Milford, Litchfield CT Real Estate (Prudential Connecticut Realty, Litchfield County Real Estate) almost 3 years ago

Andrea, as an old farm girl I knew it was a silo, I love the straight up perspective in the photo!

Posted by Caren Wallace-Portage Lakes Real Estate Agent (Stouffer Realty, Akron, Ohio) almost 3 years ago

Caren, you are way to smart, LOL. Thank you! I just love silos, they are good photo bait.

Andrea  You certainly are an accomplished photographer  Art

Art, you are too genererous with your praise, I thank you!

Andrea  I see my "assistant" got here first - probably not keeping him busy enough.  We used to live in Ridgefield and love Connecticut  Karen

Posted by Karen Kruschka - Prince William, Fairfax ,Stafford County VA Real Estate Service (RE/MAX Olympic Realty) almost 3 years ago

Andrea - You had me stumped on that one.  When you mentioned "bittersweet" I thought perhaps it was an old missile silo.  But I see you were talking about the vine - not the state of mind:-)  Nice shot!

Hi Andrea:

Nice photo...

I had to look at it for a while to figure out what exactly it was...

Posted by Toula Rosebrock -Broker/Sales Associate, Realtor, Lacey Township, Ocean County, (NJ, Diane Turton, Realtors, Forked River, NJ) almost 3 years ago

Karen, you need to keep him busier, LOL. Thank you!

Myrl, I actually was eating my lunch when I read your comment, on my blackberry, in the office lunchroom. I burst out laughing, they thought I was nuts. Oh, they know I am nuts. I don't have a missle silo in my back yard... yet.... Thank you!

Toula, thank you so much!

Posted by Andrea Swiedler - Swiedler & Adams - New Milford, Litchfield CT Real Estate (Prudential Connecticut Realty, Litchfield County Real Estate) almost 3 years ago

Andrea - Fantastic perspective in this shot! Wonderful! I really love bittersweet, too - have some brought to me from Kansas in a vase. I love the berries.

Well that is enough to make me stop working and daydream about what I can find in the clouds for the rest of the day.  Thanks for sharing.

Posted by Tammy Lankford/Broker Lane Realty Lake Sinclair-Central GA almost 3 years ago

Debi, thank you! This looks amazing in the fall, although it is very invasive, I love it.

Tammy, the clouds were cool too. Thank you!

Posted by Andrea Swiedler - Swiedler & Adams - New Milford, Litchfield CT Real Estate (Prudential Connecticut Realty, Litchfield County Real Estate) almost 3 years ago

Wow - great angle for this photo Andrea - there is a clouds group here in the rain that may appreciate this post as weel.

Sincerely,

Grace

Hi Grace, thank you! I didn't know there was a clouds group, I have many sky pictures, I should go over and take a look. Thanks again!

Andrea, that could almost be use as a Bible illistration in the Book of Genesis for the Tower of Babel :) :)

Posted by George Souto NMLS# 65149 FHA, CHFA, VA Mortgages Connecticut almost 3 years ago

LOL George, too funny! The tower of Babel is really...  an old silo, LOL. Thanks!
