Shafts of Light by Dawne Olson

Shafts of Light by

This image was taken late afternoon in the loft of our barn (badly in need of a new roof). At first I was captivated by the points of light in the semi-dark loft and tried capturing them. Then I thought to myself how much more interesting they would be if you could see the light in its path from the roof to the spot of light on the floor so I began to move the loose hay on the floor from one side of the barn to the other. (I am terribly allergic to hay.) The dust worked its magic and created a spectacular light show. Several hours later my lungs are still agonizing over the assault!
Shown here with off white mat in mocha flat frame.

    worth the sneezing, this is a great shot well done

  • Thanks Michael, I had the thought later, that I should go shoot some more holes in the roof with a shotgun but you have to draw the line somewhere…? :0)

    Beautiful shot and great thinking!! So sorry for you having to deal with the allergies to get this though. :)

  • thank you Leslie… It was a moment to lose myself in, so the allergies didn’t bother me too much (at the moment!) lol

    Very pretty! Don’t fix the roof.

  • Thanks Barbara… I love the feel of the loft when the light beams through it like that (feels like a sanctuary) :0)

    I used to believe that it was fairy dust sparkling in the shafts of sunlight – your photo has captured a truly beautiful moment:)

    What wondeful capture of the light – beautifully tones of the inside of the barn too.

  • Thanks for the comment!
