Dell Round Stars (pano & Triptych)

Vernon County Wisconsin boasts the most round barns of any county in the U.S. This is by far one of the best preserved. Designed ergonomically, the cows all faced inwards towards a central silo, the workers then worked around the ring of cows in order to milk them. To construct this barn the timbers were soaked for 6 months in the nearby stream so that they could be bent into a curve. This image features “star trails”, basically over one hundred images of the sky consecutively photographed and then laid over each other to produce the trails. The stars, which rotate around the North Star create the effect.
