Filley Barn - Windmill Kids T-Shirt

It is little wonder that the beautiful old Filley barn is a landmark in Gage County, Nebraska. This view also shows a tree in the expanse of field leading to the barn and a windmill that has been moved to the area just behind the building. In this landscape, three geese make their way across the late spring sky. The barn was build in 1874 at a time when two years of droughts and crop failure made labor both affordable and easy to get - the farmers in the surrounding areas needed work. The barn now belongs to the Gage County Historical Society.

I use my camera to explore the world around me and as a basis for creative expression. Because I live in Nebraska, I have a fondness for rural scenes that will be evident as you explore my images, but I enjoy traveling and have many other interests as well. I hope you enjoy your visit.
