Central Illinois

My Mom was born in Central Illinois and I love going back to visit family there!  Now, with our 2-year-old daughter as our 6AM portable alarm clock, we have plenty of time to explore the countryside early in the morining!

It was a drizzly morning but nothing that a good rain jacket couldn't handle, so we set off driving mostly aimlessly from our hotel through the fields.  When we came upon this barn I knew we had to stop.  The foreboding sky hovering over the barn that's clearly seen and survived hundreds of storms before...and the sun just peeking over the horizon.  I could get all philosophical here, but suffice it to say that I think these elements come together to create an intriguing scene.
