IN THE FIELD: Farm Fresh Sculpture
This past weekend we took a leisurely drive out in unexplored farm country. The rolling hills and pastures were covered in green grass and stands of corn waiting to be harvested.
As we drove along a winding road, we came across several fields of recently harvested hay which was formed into huge bales. Curiously, the hay bales were stacked three to a stack and seemed to be placed randomly throughout the fields.
My wife and I have been around farming communities most of our lives, but have never seen hay bales standing like sentinels in a field before.
These stacks of hay reminded us of the sculptures on Easter Island. Perhaps the farmer was in a creative mood the day of harvesting and was thinking the same thing.

Hayhenge! 🙂
ROFL!!!!!
I’m wondering for how long they let the bales on that filed.
I’m curious also. We will be moving to the area in October so I will find out then and let you know.
You are moving again !? I remember you have moved a few months ago. If you are moving again, this must be hard for you…
Yes moving again in October-November. The home we are in now is just temporary.
Very intriguing! 🙂
Isn’t it though? If I see a farmer out there the next time we are in the area I’ll ask him the purpose of stacking.
Easter Island was my first thought-then cozy over-sized chairs as long as they don’t cave in on you.
That’s what I thought when we saw this grouping…big fluffy chairs!
I too thought of oversized, very tall chairs! What a find! and a curiosity
Tall indeed! A good sized ladder would be needed to get up to the seat! I really need to find the farmer and ask why they stacked up the bales.
I grew up on a farm and am very familiar with farming communities, but I also have not seen hay bales stacked like this. Interesting.
You’ve never seen this before either huh…glad I’m not the only one LOL. My mission is to find out why they stacked the hay bales. I will let everyone know the reason as soon as I find out.
Love the countryside, especially rolling hills 🙂 It’s always nice to escape the city and go somweher geen and fresh 🙂
There are lots of rolling hills, farmland and pretty scenics in the area we are moving too. I can’t wait to see what will present itself in front of my camera lens!
Sounds lovely! When I’m bored with a big city, I’ll move to the countryside, grow my own herbs and make my own remedies and skincare goodies 🙂
Sounds marvelous!
They look similar to ours in the UK. These ones, however, remind me of giant armchairs!
I bet they would be rather comfortable…they certainly are big enough! Ladder please….
