Hay bales off Route 11 several miles north of town.The invention of the round hay-baler was a boon for lovers of the picturesque.

A picture a day of the town of Lexington, Virginia
Beautiful Lexington, Virginia:
A town of 7,000 in the Shenandoah Valley -- home to Washington and Lee University and the Virginia Military Institute; resting place of Civil War generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson; and at the center of one of the prettiest counties in Virginia: Rockbridge County.

Perfect!
Love those blues and golds...I never tire of farm scenes :)
Nice minimalist photo. I like the sky to foreground ratio.
Nice landscape. As a boy I used to work the baler on a schoolfriends family farm in those far off endless summers. Then the bales were oblong and later we would make them into a haystack. Rarely see them these days.
... and also a boon for the farmers I suppose!!
Great shot, lovely scenery.
