A Barn at the End of my Road – My Photo of the year 2025

By Neal Wellons

I decided to submit this photo after culling to about  25, then a dozen, then 8 and finally two favorites for 2025.  I decided to write up a little story on each and then made my final cut.  It was hard but this is my final choice.

This one is of a barn at the end of my road.  I know the property owner and wander around what is now a horse boarding area from time to time.  On this day, I saw fog, my favorite weather condition, outside my window when I looked out. I quickly made a beeline for the farm.  Wandering around for about an hour, I shot a number of pictures but this is my favorite.  I like the barn, a favorite subject anyway, plus the color accents of the farm implements.  Framing the scene first are the trees and then overall, the fog.  This image comes from early in the year and it still stands to the top of my 2025 list.  I used my Leica IIIf, Nikkor 35mm C f/3.5 lens with Lomo 800 film.

Love this shot, Neal, which captures the mood of specific season and moment beautifully (that hint of fog really works well with the Lomo). I'm in the midst of a torrid love affair with a Barnack Leica (god, how geeky that sounds) and am happy to see this memorable shot came from the same. Cheers.
