Some of the first Eaton County settlers clustered near the corner of Needmore Highway and Wheaton Road, though neither road was named yet. Nowadays we locals call the place "Needmore," but old maps show it variously as "Maxson's Corners," "Roxana," and "Roxand." Quite honestly, Needmore's the hardest name to explain--or at least I've never seen an explanation. I found this barn by driving to Needmore and heading north. My first, poor, view was of an obviously-collapsing roof, gone fluid from age and gravity. I got closer, shot a few pix, and published one of those to 366 Snaps . ========== A bored photographer needs new subjects. Thus my Nashville photographs last October 3, my beyond Sebewa excursion on October 31, and my Webber Dam trip on November 8. This day's object was similar--this time a short trip, but I did want to travel local roads I'd been ignoring. Thus this absolutely unexpected discovery. I returned in mid-December, intending to capture my original view, only to discover that the barn had been removed. Found it just in time. There's a lesson. ========== This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps .
