| As the sun sets on the barn you can see some final details added towards completion: the windows and door are framed to connect to the shape of the earth and to open to the sky, the circular window is framed with an egg shape, and the tractor and golf cart are in their homes! |
 |
| This image highlights the intentional shape of the frame around each window. The bottom and top are curved like the earth and the sides are spread open in welcome. |
