Barn, Needmore Highway

I used to pass this place going to and from work. The pic's been pretty heavily photoshopped (using PSE, not that it matters), but at this point I don't recall the reason. Perhaps I was just playin'.

Last March 5 I was definitely in a mood to photograph barns. This photo was an insurance shot taken on my return trip, after photographing my day's quarry.

==========

My photographic "target" that day was a collapsing farmyard complex on the edge of Grand Ledge. I called the resulting photograph "The End is Near"--which proved true, as those ruins would be demolished early in May. I'd post a photo of the post-demolition remains to 366 Snaps on July 30.

The Grand Ledge farmyard consisted of a medium-sized barn and three sheds, all of which seemed to deteriorate simultaneously (I was minded of OWH's "Wonderful One-Hoss Shay"). The farm's still-surviving house was across the street.

Despite a number of attempts I never managed a satisfactory photo of the farmyard's barn. There was a spectacular morning-sunshine shot just begging to be captured, but I never managed it. I'll be forever disappointed.

For some reason neither of these photos got my usual thin-line frame.

This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps.

Number of project photos taken: 14 (thirteen were barns or sheds)
