I like barns, too. Here's a few I've shot recently. The locations are approximate - all were shot while on trips to nowhere with my camera.
Good finds Dennis.

What a nice set! They're all really good, but I especially like the composition of #5.

Thanks SueScott! That's the day a storm was brewing and heading our direction. Made for an interesting & colorful shot as we travelled through Ohio. Shortly after that shot......it poured! Much appreciated, Bob

Somewhere in Michigan. I doubt it is still standing today.
Beautiful shot PAT! I'm sure you are correct about the possibility of it not "still standing today." It might just be a flat red roof by now!

This was taken back in January. Somehow Lightroom lost it but I was able to find it again here on the forum.

I love the back roads of Vermont where many a barn still exists. Beautiful shots form a lovely state. Bob

Very nice set. Like #5 most.
Thanks MattPhox…..Almost didn't post that one as the barn's a bit hidden. But it's also one of my favorite shots due to the approaching storm & happy I did share it. Much appreciated, Bob

Why is red so popular with farmers?
From Livescience.com:
" But barns weren't originally red in fact, they weren't painted at all. The early farmers that settled in New England didn't have much extra money to spend on paint , so most of their barns remained unpainted. By the late 1700s, farmers looking to shield their barns' wood from the elements began experimenting with ways to make their own protective paint.
A recipe consisting of skimmed milk, lime and red iron oxide created a rusty-colored mixture that became popular among farmers because it was cheap to make and lasted for years. Farmers were able to easily obtain iron oxide the compound that lends natural red clay its coppery color from soil. Linseed oil derived from flax plants was also used to seal bare wood against rotting, and it stained the wood a dark coral hue."
