Stuck in Grinnell, Iowa on business I stupidly took my 2 wheel drive rental car (rear wheel drive at that) up and down iced over country roads until I happened upon this barn. It was 10 degrees F and there was a strong wind so I sat up the tripod, started the exposure then hopped back into the warm car until it was done, recomposed, tweaked exposure time and repeated until I decided the barn was just too flat. To fix it I walked up to the barn with my flash and painted it and the silo behind it. By the time I got the shot (around midnight) my camera and I were both frozen solid. It ended up being a 165 second exposure. I can only assume the red in the cloud is from the remote farm's security lights.
