Description
Folks who’ve spent any time around Chester California will recognize the Olsen Barn immediately as it’s a bit of a local icon. It sits in a 100+ acre meadow nestled between the North Fork of the Feather River and Lake Almanor. Some time back the land was purchased by the Feather River Land Trust and, thanks to a very successful fundraising campaign, some restoration work was completed and the area serves as a publicly accessible nature preserve/historical site.
I confess that around 9:15pm on this particular night was the first time I’d ever actually walked out to this wonderful old structure even though I’ve driven by it scores of times and always thought I needed to photograph it. I suppose under the core of our little galaxy was a good place to start. While I did a standard color version of this image I thought the rustic old barn deserved a black and white rendition as well.

Wow Mike, this is just so magical and wondrous it is difficult to describe such unique beauty! I was drawn more to this b&w image for whatever reason, but both are equally amazing. To be there in person had to be incredible, and I am wondering if you added to the sky in your most excellent processing, or if there were a million stars out at least! Pure magic, an enchanted image!
Mike Lee replied:
Thank you very much, Sharon! It is lots of frames for noise reduction, etc, but they were all captured with the camera in the same position on the same night.
