This was taken at 9:30 in the evening on Dec. 2nd, under what is called the Full Cold Moon. I was sitting on the ground steadying the camera in my lap. This barn, dated 1908, is the oldest of our standing buildings and is very close to falling over. It leans further and further north everyday. It looks very majestic in it's lonely stance. It was at one time surrounded by smaller buildings holding grain and livestock, it's immense belly full of straw and hay. Now it only houses a sick or mothering cow a few times a year. We don't want to take it down... so we'll just wait it out until she falls.
