I came across this barn, proud weathered but unvanquished eloquent somehow masterful defiant to nature, while I was driving north on Route 1 in Delaware USA. I was in the far left lane, the left turn only lane, the barn was at about 2 o’clock, and so I inched out across a solid white line, not to get far. Cars piled up, blocking me. I waited for the light to change and the cars to pass, and I pulled out, but still unable to get over to the far right, I continued for a half mile or so and u-turned it.
I took two or three or four shots of the barn, and when I edited its photograph an hour or two ago, I felt guilty, for I believe I was unable to capture the barn’s majesty. It was a gray thing, and the grayness didn’t come out of the camera. I believe I have transformed the barn, maybe, hopefully, into something for us all to wonder and awe at: The Proud Indomitable Barn at Route 1 and 16.
