upkeep

Road crews finally spraying to keep the dust from the road under control. Ride with the windows up and suffocate, or roll them down and wear a bandanna over your face to help keep the dust out. The water trucks on these roads are a more welcome sight than even the snowplows of Michigan‘s winter.

Now that I know this barn is here I want to keep playing.

Found, about 200yds off the road near Williamston, MI. I can’t count the number of times I’ve driven past this barn without seeing it, but the sun across it tonight coming home from golf caught my eye. The sun was nearly down for the day as I drove up a narrow, overgrown kinda-road to get back there to take some shots. I had to shoot at 800ISO while holding very still.

the line

I occasionally worked this “line” as a high school and college student down in my family’s seed processing shed. Growing up, we just called it the line – seed drops from above in 50lb increments. You bag it, sample, sew, and then stack the seed onto pallets for shipping.
