Midland Trail is the road connecting Buena Vista and Lexington, Virginia. Traveling east on through Buena Vista one goes over the Blue Ridge Mountains down onto the plateau and on to Richmond. To the west traveling through Lexington, a traveler is taken over the Allegheny Mountains and on into the Kanawha Valley of West Virginia. In between is a lot of rich farmland whose abundance once earned it the title of, “The Breadbasket of the Confederacy”. The produce stand in the painting used to be situated between the two towns near Lexington; selling fresh local produce and goods made by the Mennonite community. In the painting it is autumn and apples and pumpkins are in abundance. But with a gathering pace our area is changing and the stand has since been razed, a sacrifice to progress like the family farms that go one by one to the developers.

The corn crib at the Tipton place is an example of a double pen corn crib, larger than average, and having a driveway through the center. This not only provided a way to conveniently unload the wagon but allowed for extra air to flow through the crib. The hewn log sides were left with open spaces to allow air to circulate through the corn, both allowing it to dry initially and helping it to stay dry…The roofing is known as shackes, which are wooden shingles usually split from leftover parts of logs ….Behind the crib is the edge of a cantalever barn unique to this part of the country……This shot was taken on Cades Cove Loop Road in The Great Smoky Mountain National Park.
At The Mountain Farm Museum,most of the structures were built in the late 19th century and were moved here in the 1950s. The Davis-Queen House offers a rare chance to view a log house built from chestnut wood before the chestnut blight decimated the American Chestnut in our forests during the 1930s and early 1940s. The museum is adjacent to the Oconaluftee Visitor Center,On the NC side of Hwy.441 in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. The Davis/Queen house was originally located on Thomas Divide north of Bryson City along Indian Creek. Beginning about 1900, it was built by John E. Davis over a period of a couple years. The house was constructed from American chestnut trees. About 1917 the Davis’ sold their farm to a neighboring family, Joe Thad Queens, who owned the house at the time the land was purchased for inclusion in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It has been described as “the finest example of the large log house in the park.” Davis was a master craftsman who built the house with the aid of his two boys. He “matched” the log walls by splitting a tree in half and using the resulting timbers on opposite sides of the structure. In addition to other duties, his sons, ages 8 and 4, respectively, collected stones for the chimney using a sled and oxen. It is the only log house in the Smokies with a decorative shingle pattern underneath the eaves. Poplar and Chestnut were usually used for the logs in the cabin due how they resist rot and decay.Oak was usually used for the shakes as it split, stright and thin, easier.

Albert Rain Storm © Vicki Ferrari This is taken at Albert, New South Wales, Australia – approximately 1987. It is a big storm that had come across and dumped an amazing amount of rain, then left, then came back again. Nature is wonderful, the opportunities that she provides us photographers with! This was scanned from an 8X12 print from one of my original portfolios. This was ‘softened’ in photoshop – the original film was the old grainy kodak 1000 asa, which I loved for the grainess. Then you couldn’t get it anymore! I will put the original in Storm at Albert ©, so you can see the difference. Any comments on which is better, and why, would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for reading and looking! (non grain and smooth)
