Looking west about an hour or so after sunset. Needed to use a tripod, and was amazed at how much light a 6 second exposure brought in, as I was shooting in what seemed like total darkness. Interesting also that star trails are evident with such a short exposure. (I had also used a self-timer to minimize any moverment.) A Hunter’s Moon rising behind me lights up the barn a bit.

Same basic scene as my post of 10/12/12, but a different kind of sky and with most of the foliage gone on the mountain.

I imagine one lure of farming is in the simplicity (though potential monotony) of the tasks. Tedding this field, for instance (gathering the mown hay lying flat on the ground into windrows to allow better aeration), probably took under an hour to complete, and the farmer may very well have been on autopilot during that entire time. His attention could have been anywhere, perhaps even within a profoundly meditative state. That’s a significant freedom to enjoy in one’s work, and art.
