You have everything on this picture that makes a nice, moody landscape. The weather is exquisite November. I would have dropped much of the dark foreground, though. Best regards, Kathy, György

Good question, Kathy! It must be the colour, or something nostalgic :) Very good details/textures! I feel tempted to crop off about a half of the dark area at the bottom. Good work nonetheless, Kathy!

What a fantastic piece of architecture. You caught it at the right time with the sun shining on it.
I would probably like to crop half of the bottom bit which is in the shade.
Regards,
Ciprian

Excellent detail and colors. I'd be interested in a closer shot on the windows with the weathered wood and the hay inside.

Thanks, Kathy :)
Just ran into some computer problems so I had to reformat. Photos were saved on cd, but haven't put too many back on yet...plus the little ones have been sick and clingy. Been just trying to catch up on comments while I get things back in order here and it's tough! I do feel like I am in a funk right now, though....
Congrats on your new business and best of luck!! Put a studio in there, too :) !!!

Wow, Janet! If I ever need any research done I'll know who to call!!! Very interesting stuff you found!
Susie and I were just saying yesterday "Where has Janet been???" Are you out of pictures, or just taking a little break? My pictures are getting dangerously low :) Susie and I are in the middle of opening a new business (a cafe) so we have been just a little busy, to say the least. We open on Dec. 1st.
Thanks for your nice comments, Janet! I always look forward to them :)
Kathy

"Centuries ago, European farmers would seal the wood on their barns with an oil, often linseed oil -- a tawny-colored oil derived from the seed of the flax plant. They would paint their barns with a linseed-oil mixture, often consisting of additions such as milk and lime. The combination produced a long-lasting paint that dried and hardened quickly. (Today, linseed oil is sold in most home-improvement stores as a wood sealant.) Now, where does the red come from?
In historically accurate terms, "barn red" is not the bright, fire-engine red that we often see today, but more of a burnt-orange red. As to how the oil mixture became traditionally red, there are two predominant theories:
Wealthy farmers added blood from a recent slaughter to the oil mixture. As the paint dried, it turned from a bright red to a darker, burnt red.
Farmers added ferrous oxide, otherwise known as rust, to the oil mixture. Rust was plentiful on farms and is a poison to many fungi, including mold and moss, which were known to grown on barns. These fungi would trap moisture in the wood, increasing decay.
Regardless of how the farmer tinted his paint, having a red barn became a fashionable thing. They were a sharp contrast to the traditional white farmhouse."
That's what I found on the internet about 'red barns', Kathy...plus they look cool! Love this one you photographed...I find the windows of it the most fascinating. It's odd to see a layer of windows in the hay mow around here!

What a nice scenery Kathy ,magnificent shot,amazing details and colors,very nicely composed
Many thanks for nice words on "Moving sands ?"
I usualy frame the picure with one of the colors of the scene,in this case I agree with you that black would have suit better
My best regards

Well, well, well! A new barn series! This one's a gem, Kathy! The windows, the ivy, the wood and the roof! A picture perfect barn, very elaborate architecturally, absolutely beautiful. Love the landscape too on the right, and the trees at the back all growing towards it, it's a calendar picture! I Love it! 7/7 Ina

Packed full of detail Kathy...love the weathered wood on this side, the windows in various stages of disrepair, the hay piled inside, pieces and parts falling off, the colors, the roof...so much to see!
Thank you for the comment on mine!
