Colt's Barn 1

There are not many ponds lined up with a barn and the Milky Way in the area, so this was a special treat to find. It took me months to track down the owner, Colt, and then finally find an uncle of his that lives not far from this barn in order to get permission to photograph on his property. This is the most complicated image in my portfolio, with an estimated 35 different images needed because of the large area lit up. Unfortunately that lovely tree is no longer with us, having been blown down in a wind storm the summer after I captured this photograph.
