PHOTOGRAPHER'S JOURNAL: Two sleighs were uncovered when this old, barn complex was undergoing repair. It was cleared for inspection and remediation, and light reflects from the barnyard and opens a space where clutter had previously made photography impossible.

Was the roofing also efficient and light? Getting it all up there seems trickier than standing up a city of cards.
