I saw this barn on US-12 near Three Oaks, MI, just as a storm approached. The sky darkened ominously, urging me to capture this scene before the rain unleashed its fury. I quickly set up my tripod inches from the highway, vehicles zipping past, the wind whipping around me. As I framed the shot, the contrast of the dark earth and stormy sky against the bright white barn created a striking image, a testament to nature’s raw power and beauty. Time was of the essence; I felt the impending downpour in my bones, yet the urgency only heightened my focus on this fleeting moment.
