Well, I'll just have to repeat what has alrady been said. The lighting is wonderful, I like the composition and the sky is fantastic. Altogehter, a great find.
When you get the answer to why barns are red, you can fill us all in.
In asmuch as ready-made paint was not available, a farmer mixed his own. He discovered that skimmed milk, lime and red iron oxide made a plastic-like coating that hardened quickly and lasted for years. Occasionally, it hardened too well and peeled off in sheets. Linseed oil was subsequently added to the recipe to provide the necessary soaking quality. Thus American “barn red” was born. And thus your beautiful image was born!
