This is facing north off the back of the house. We have a short section of lawn, sloping up to the driveway, and then there is a fence. The lane from the barn runs up this hill to the top of the first pasture. We have a corral with a handling facility up there. From there, the lane goes though the upper hayfield, skirts the rim of a "bowl" where the original farmhouse and log barn were located, and heads up the ridge to the top of the farm. From that high ridgetop overlooking Horse Creek with a view of Belle Valley, there is a 300 ft change in elevation to the creek that runs through our own little valley.

Note the huge, spreading beech in the upper left of the photo.
