    Matt, as I was waiting for the photo to load (I have dial-up, so feel free to make fun of me), I was seeing mountain, mountain, mountain - and thinking "well, OK, it's a mountain..." and then... POW the red building appeared.

    HEY - very nice! I'm wondering how that would look as an IR shot. That's a great subject for either.

    Posting a picure is the main thing here and all, but it might help us if you could tell us more about this place in a caption. I have never heard of Mt. Si.

    Sure thing! Mt. Si is located in the Washington State Cascade Foothills not too far east from Seattle. I had been driving around the town of North Bend, located at the base of Mt. Si, looking for a location to get a closer shot of some para sailors I had seen out the window while eating at McDonalds :D I never found the para sailors again but I happened to drive by this barn.

    I'm actually not quite sure what road it was located on so I'm going to have to find it again and make note of where it is so I can come back and shoot it again! If I can get my hands on a red/IR filter I'll try an IR shot as you suggested too. Maybe I'll just play around with this one in photoshop -- we'll see.

    Excellent shot!

    North Bend = the town where Twin Peaks was filmed, right down to the diner.
