Took them all on the same walk.
 
I love these pictures!!
There are lots of red barns where I live, but here are some barn pictures we took on a trip yesterday:
(My girlfriend took the one of me and my dog, I took the other two myself)

Some slightly interesting barn facts, I don't know if it's the same everywhere but where I Iive almost all barns are red. And that's because back in the day farmers made their own paint/sealant to protect the wood. And they added iron oxide to that sealant. Iron oxide was free and readily available and when you mix it with oil and use it on wood, it prevents the wood from rotting. And keeps fungi and moss from growing on it. It also turns red. And I guess people just kept painting the barns red over the years, since they were already red.

I happen to know of a special barn. This is the King of Norway's barn. Yep, he has a barn. :) So it's a genuine royal barn. Royal barns are a little rare.

Royal cows with royal milk. :D

I love old barns. My first freelance photography assignment was a photo essay about circular barns. A few of them were scattered across Michigan, mostly a century or more old. Some were huge and had windows in a central cupola. They felt like cathedrals.

The more dilapidated barns get torn down, and the weathered wood is used in crafts and furniture.
