The Alpaca Barn
Long slow drive home tonight in the rain and fog, so this is going to be quick and simple. The barn that's home to the Alpacas is a few concessions down the road, and it's one of my favourites. It sits beside an unused old concession road, which I walked down on snowshoes 2 or 3 weeks ago.
I was able to get shots from different angles as I walked back out the old road, shooting between the trees and across the old stone fencerow.
They've planted some spruce and pine, which seems like yesterday, but obviously it was several years ago.
The Alpacas are kept in the barn over the winter, and kept in triangular paddocks outside here. One point of each triangle meets close to the barn. But I have no idea what that tiny square opening in the middle of the barn wall is for!

Those can be some fun but ornery critters to have around.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photos, I just love the barn.
ReplyDeleteI like the old barn, all covered in snow.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos in the snow. I am a bit confused about the use of the term "concession" in you post - it isn't a phrase I'm familiar with.
ReplyDeleteThese are good emotive shots! What is a concession road?
ReplyDeleteNice pictures of the barn and information about the place. I too wonder about the use of the word "concession" :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, middle one is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed these beautiful shots....love that snow.
ReplyDeleteMeant to say for everyone to please click on the images to expand...makes a world of difference.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a beautiful spot and nice to see it minus the leaves and growth of summer. I wonder if the square hole is for birds??
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful setting! Too bad they are not snow frolicking creatures - it would be nice to see them too. Square hole: barn cat door?
ReplyDeleteoh I was looking at one lower.. the higher one must be for birds. We had one in our barn that an owl used.
DeleteLooks like a stone foundation too! :)
ReplyDeleteNice wintry barn shot. I follow another blog, Eden's Hills, that has an alpaca. Lenny is sort of a guard alpaca!
