It occurred to me – long after taking this image – that the window of this outbuilding might have been left open as an act of kindness, to provide small animals some respite from the harshness of winter.

The machine on the left is an old fashioned hay mower, which was hitched behind a horse. There’s a separate blade next to it, and on this side of the tree, either some sort of wheel or a missing part of the Bat-Signal.

There are many things I like about this image; for one, it’s such a non-business use of the sign, and in that way reveals something about Yankee practicality. The shot was taken with a Fuji 6×7 film camera twenty or so years ago, a few steps away from the Mohawk Trail, otherwise known as Route 2. The road follows a Native American trade route that linked Atlantic tribes with those in upstate NY. Vestiges of that era remain – this place sold all sorts of leather goods including moccasins and warm rabbit’s fur winter hats.

Michael, a friend of mine who grew up in nearby Newport Center, VT (and moved to NC long ago), recalled these as the “wondrous birches of Island Pond”. If you’re anywhere in the area, they’re definitely worth a visit. Shown here is a part of the larger stand.
