Description
The old red barn was just barely standing when we took the photograph. It actually did look as if it were still being used to a certain extent. I'm not exactly sure how safe that would be though.
I loved the vintage look of it. I wondered what it looked like in its glory days....brand spanking new. I could imagine a shiny green John Deere tractor standing under its cover. I could just see in my mind's eye, stacks upon stacks, rows upon rows of fresh hay waiting in the barn to feed nearby livestock. I could envision the farmer, dressed in faded overalls and a hat on his head working steadily to take care of his barn and his animals.
A barn seems to be a man's pride and joy and I wondered why this one was not kept up, with a fresh coat of barn red paint and new boards and repairs made. Or even torn down and a new barn erected in its place. But if it had been BRAND NEW, I might not have bothered to shoot this photograph.
