My calendar was clear Friday afternoon, so I decided to knock off early and head out with my camera. As the recent dearth of photos on this blog has illustrated, I haven’t had a lot of camera time lately.  I figured I could clear my head and work out any photo-atrophy that may have set in by venturing west.  I hadn’t been to Sims lately, so I figured I would check it out…most notably the Gray House.  While the title of this post could have actually referred to Friday morning’s sky, the sun came out by the time I rolled into Morton County.

I’ve tried this shot before but figured I’d take another crack at that too.  It’s a real challenge to match the interior light with the bright, sunny scene outside.

I poked around the house a little bit, then pointed the camera in the other direction for an additional Fallen Farm.  I believe the concrete steps in the foreground are from the old Sims Schoolhouse, which has been relocated to west of Almont.

After poking around the site for a little while, I took off for a date night with my sweet wife.  We still have a lot to keep us busy in the next few months, but I’m hoping for plenty more opportunities to get out with my camera and share the results here.
