Darn, who painted the barn - Red!?





Driving the 35km between Gananoque and Kingston I noticed that a feature of the local environment were the barns. So I decided to try to document the many different examples on my trip. As you notice there are the typical 'barn' style, painted in a burnt red - not sure why, maybe it's to help the cows locate their way home. Anyway, the remainder of the barns reminded me of our 'sheds'. Built of corrugated iron, with a raised floor - so there is ventilation and the 'droppings' drop away - any one of these images could be of rural Australia ( with the exception of the greeness of the paddocks...). P.S We don't need to paint our sheds red! We just wait until the rust sets in and wait for the desired tone.
