Arriving before dawn, I stood for an hour, frost coated grass saoking my shoes, waiting for first light to creep down the flag pole, down the frosted many-angled roof, down the foreground shed, and finally under the broken roof plank in the lower left. Having passed, inspected, watched, and shot this barn many times before, in all seasons and hours, that illuminated broken roof was my intended image. The birds on the roof were a bonus.

Shades of powdered cocoa reflect so strongly in the late afternoon sun that this barn evoked in me the scent of fresh baked cake. I waited nearly two hours for the last direct rays of a bright Autumn day. In the final seconds before the sun's last gleam climbed off a strip of foreground grass, the near wall's outward thrust fell into dramatic relief.

As is plain from the broken ridge pole and collapsing roof, this 19th Century barn was not to stand another decade. The door has splintered; soil and weeds drifting down the hill have pinned its foot; outward bending thrust adds a tipsy tilt. And indeed this old friend, deemed a public hazard, was soon burned for fire department practice. Long after nothing remains here but a mounded blackberry patch, friends of the Dehlinger Winery on School Hill Road will remember the distinctive colors and broken form of this simple barn.

4x5 Barn in field of mustard © 2008 Duncan Dwelle

ISO 100 @ f/11 for 1 sec using Toyo 45AII camera with Nikor-W 300mm f/5.6 lens on Ektachrome E100g film

Shot on 20080 near 38°14'52.80" N 122°28'27.60" W (Google Earth link).

Ten minutes after sunrise, a field of spring mustard flushes brilliantly in flat rays streaking across the Sonoma Valley. Direct sun penetrates the barn's loft for no more than three minutes, briefly illuminating hundred year old beams and rafters.

While the ridge still stands straight and seemingly intact, slanting doors and loose planks reveal the structure's arthritic age. A year later, winter storms will have torn away half of the metal roof, leaving old barn bones exposed to unaccustomed weather.

This site on Arnold Road, midway between the western hills and meandering Sonoma creek, endures a constant contest between coastal fog and inland sun. Such struggle ennobles living vines of rich Sonoma wines but destines the long dead fir and redwood of a nineteenth century barn to periodic renewal or certain demise.

Reprieve came in time - a new roof, refurbished siding, rebuld doors. Alas, none to be seen as it hides amidst an orchard of olives.
