Afternoon Light

The old barn seen late on a winter afternoon: sunlight and blue skies, deep snow and long sharp shadows across everything. Since most of the structure was in shadow, there was a suggestion of the logs and weathered boards, but it was the light, the battered tin roof and the drifts of snow which held one's attention - and the intense blues everywhere we looked.

Since there were no footsteps crossing the yard, both barn and paddock seemed deserted, but Spencer and I were standing there watching, and there were deer feeding in the cedars beyond the back fence.
