Red Barn #2, (I’m calling it Red Barn #2 because it was the second red barn we photographed on The Palouse on our first morning there) seems to me to be the quintessential red barn. Perched amidst the planted crops, wheat I think, its red facade stands out from the lush green of the undulating hills surrounding it. The face of the barn is in full sun in this image but while we were shooting, the clouds drifted across the sky, casting changing light onto the front of the barn and moving it from sunlit to shade and back to sunlit again. I’m not sure why the need for a sign affixed to the front of the barn that declares it “Palouse Country.” It seemed pretty obvious to me without the sign.
