It's a noisy start to the morning as the traffic on Highway 36 roars along unseen behind the barn standing by itself near the South Boulder Creek trail. The Flatirons on Green Mountain loom in the background as they await the gentle kiss of the rising sun. The clear sky turns from a pale blue to a much deeper shade as daylight brightens the scene. The jagged ridge of the Flatirons cuts a stark profile along the horizon. The face of the barn remains in shade until it is ultimately washed by the brightness of the day. The piercing cries of birds cut through the lulls in the sounds of the morning traffic.
