Storm clouds break over the Broadwater Farm near Carnation, WA. This historic dairy farm is on the National Register of Historic Places
Six years after they were married, William and Estella Adair bought 110 acres in the Snoqualmie Valley next door to her parents place near the community of Vincent which lies northwest of the current town of Carnation in Kings County Washington. In the early years flood and shifting river channels caused them to abandoned there home and establish a new place on their property to the south. In 1915 they built a farmhouse in the Craftsman style. William set about replacing his temporary structures with more permeant ones. In 1922, Will Adair constructed a hay bam using the new bow-truss roof configuration. He was among the first Snoqualmie Valley dairymen to build such a bam which was designed to maximize the interior volume of the hay loft. Other farmers quickly followed Adair's example and today many barns in the Snoqualmie Valley utilized this design. High on the barn's north end, in bold black letters below the hay door ,were painted the words “Broadacre Farm-1922” This is the first time this name for the farm appears in public Will Adair milked his 55 cows by hand until he retired in 1945.
Spring, yes this is mid afternoon on an early spring day.

Being a card carrying colorist it was difficult to print this picture in B&W. The Olive green walls work so wonderfully with the pale yellow beehive, but in color the shadows were lost.
Why? - well my intent at the moment was to photograph the shadows. I saw them set up like upon a Broadway stage, from across the barnyard.

This shot was taken later in the evening at a wedding reception at oakhill farm in New Maryland, NB. Kind of a boring shot but I haven't posted a landscape shot in a while so decided to put it up.
I know it looks a bit out of place but the "Old House" was sitting right there on this sod-farm field. ;)

A windmill like this was used to grind grain into flour. Rich farmers had their own windmill, poorer farmers had to come to other farmers or to a windmill owner.
The Mapmaker’s Song
The mapmaker downed his tools.
I’ve caught it, every alley, every street,
every fanlight and window-ledge,
the city fixed and framed.
Now I want everything else.
I want to be a historian of footsteps,
a cartographer of hemlines and eyelids,
I want to catch what the pavements say
when they sing to each other
in their deep laboratories, plotting
every journey since the place began.
I want the whole
unlosable database, the repeating place,
kings stalking the server farms,
tailbacks and looped alarms,
I want to be where
brushstrokes flicker on a bank of screens,
where graveyards tilt
and quiet populations crowd the air,
their quarters risen again
their furniture
smashing through the floors.
I want to stand at the centre
of a great clutter
mapping ashes, mapping bones,
archivist, enumerator, hanger-on
signing the returns
of an infinite census.
I want to be,
beyond everything I’ve reached or drawn,
not much at all, or all there is,
a geographer of breath,
a curator of hands.
I want to lie in the atrium
of the museum of the fingertip
and touch, touch, touch.
