The barn is an American icon, much like the town hall and the skyscraper. Here on the edge of the northwestern suburbs of Chicago, the metroplex continues its slow but steady surge into outlying farmlands and consuming fields that provided sustenance for a region and the livelihood for a family.This barn has been restored and is today the centerpiece of a park and recreation center. The warm glow of the light in the window is testimony to the care of those who leaned toward preservation.

I love how your blog is set; entries in small bites. The immaculate photograph and a short paragraph or two as commentry. Certainly refreshing.
As always, beautiful.
That last comment was from EB -- I guess I hit the wrong button!
