Photo of a Vermont dairy farm

The Skyview Farm in Brookfield, Vermont is the quintessential Northern New England dairy farm sitting atop a hill surrounded by lush green fields.


Photojournalist Remarks

While driving around the Brookfield and Northfield, Vermont area I saw this farm along a road that I had never been down, despite having gone to college in this area years before. To me it had that romanticized look of the stereotypical Vermont dairy farm. I set up a tripod in the middle of the road, which did not have a single car go down it during the span of time that it took for me to set up. Once I started shooting it seemed like a vehicle came down the road every other minute, forcing me to move quite a few times. I think the only thing that would have improved this photo is cows in the field.
