Barn in the Palouse

The two things I like about this photo, taken a couple of years ago in the Palouse, are:

1) How the upward-rising peak of the barn echoes the upward-rising cloud formation in the background; and

2) How the three light patches in the image create a triangle. There's the lightness on the roof of the barn, the lightness of the cloud rising upward, and the lightness on the ground just to the lower right corner of the barn. Those three light areas lead my eye around the frame and create a sense of movement. ©Carol Leigh
