Description
I’m not sure what this old structure in northern Lassen County California is. I’m guessing it is either an old shepherd’s shack or a cowboy line shack. The area that it’s in has been used for both sheep and cattle grazing for many years. On this early June afternoon I was out for a drive looking for a good spot to get out ahead of some in coming thunderstorms and thought of this building which I’ve known about for years. This composition lines it up nicely with Shaffer Mountain, the highest peak in the distance, which happens to have a bunch of big repeater towers atop it. I figured that made it a good candidate for a lighting image. As I was waiting for the thunderstorm to fully set in I grabbed this image with my “full spectrum” modified camera and infrared filter just before that great provider of infrared energy in the sky went behind the cloud cover.
To complete the story, imagine the sounds of a strong wind through high desert foliage along with wild burros braying their discontent at the storm off to the right and cattle mooing their own discontent off to the left but not another human to be seen. It was definitely an evening of rural America at its finest.
