Darn, another barn. I am admittedly obsessed and I think I know why. They represent a simple life comprised of hard work and simple rewards. They are beautiful and each one uniquely elegant. And, growing up in New York City, this kind of beauty was foreign to me.
Mike's Look at Life 
I enjoy your barn pictures, so keep them coming please. You know, I’ve wondered why I am attracted to old barns, and maybe your explanation is the answer: “They represent a simple life comprised of hard work and simple rewards.” In addition, Mike, old barns offer interesting textures and shapes.

Hi Mona. I have a few more barns and I appreciate so much your comment. Certainly textures and shapes come into play. I think too they can be majestic. Thank you.

I too love barns. Here in Quebec’s eastern township area they are known for their red barns. I have painted a few. Thinking I will post them soon. Thanks for your barns Mike. They are allowed to age gracefully without being condemned and I think that is what I appreciate about them. The older I get the more I appreciate stuff like that š big smile here!

In NY it was pronounced who-a as I was growing up. We used to call people an f’ing who-a. If we thought they were getting smart we would say…..”you need a bell…..ding dong.” That would be the name of my next blog……’you need a bell?’

I keep reading that barns are disappearing, along with the sense of community they provide. Your obsession will provide a wonderful picture book of an American icon. š
