survival of the fittest...

I've wanted to get a decent shot of this iconic old barn along busy I80 near Princeton,IL. for a long time. Pulling off the busy interstate to get the right angle seems a unsafe,and possibly,illegal way of doing it.So this heavily processed shot will have to do until I figure out how.There are a lot of much better shots of this beauty on various sites,and some even include the great old windmill until it blew down 10 or more years ago. Its continued survival shows the great workmanship in its construction.While a great location for a great view,the amount of wind and weather it has received in its long life would have brought down many a lesser barn by now....
