Barn, St. Joe & Mulliken

My favorite of the local barns, a couple miles due south of my house. While there's nothing really special about the structure, I've always thought it attractive and often find it in my day's photographic haul.

Early in the 366 Snaps project I mostly photographed in the house, the yard, and the village, with occasional excursions to Grand Ledge and Portland for a bit of variety. Around mid-year the unplanned routine of Kalamazoo trips added some geographic diversity, but not enough. So I added the local backroads to the mix.

About half the time I'd trace one of my regular bicycle routes. I have four such courses, and all four are represented here in the project. A year ago I followed what I call my Boyer loop, after one of the local roads--except I reversed the usual ride.

Backwards is useful. The world looks different when you turn things around.

Many local fields are bordered by lines of trees intended as windbreaks. The windbreak photo I posted to 366 Snaps is on Boyer, north of Needmore road. I played a lot in Bibble with that photo, and found two other variants in the outtakes folder. While I've elected not to share those, it's often fun to experiment a bit with your processing tools. Another way, I suppose, of turning things around....
