Stars Around Round Barn

A round brick barn located just south of the Christ Community United Methodist Church grounds in Marion, Iowa is silhouetted in front of a star-spangled sky in this image taken around 9:45 PM, Monday, May 17, 2011. A nearly-full moon was beginning to rise toward the left, washing out most of the dimmer stars. This was a 40-second exposure at f/5.6, 200 ISO and a 24mm focal length.
