Christmas Eve in Park City, Utah. An iconic Park City landmark, the McPolin Barn was originally part of an 160 acre farm homesteaded in 1886. The land was acquired by the McPolin family around the turn of the century. The "white barn" greets millions of visitors along Park City's main entry corridor and is protected by a conservation easement held by the Summit Land Conservancy. While development pressure and flourishing mega-resorts have forever changed the character of the Park City area, I am grateful for these precious pockets of critical open space that have been preserved in perpetuity.

Recent back-to-back storms blanketed the area with deep snow and for the first time in days, the storm clouds broke and soft light bathed the barn while the temperature hovered near zero.
