So Much For The City (Redux)

We've gone in a straight line, from the big apple, to the sleepy suburbia, to the heart of the countryside, this is the fifth installment of: Stars and Stripes, lets celebrate the country I know you love!

Old Red Barn

With a fantastic grasp of all things country, this find is the work of Anon Nona, entitled Old Red Barn.

I have to say, before arriving in America a couple of years ago, the whole "red barn" phenomena was completely lost on me. A colleague has a good friend who works in a large scale hardware store, here in the states. He talked about an obvious markup from certain paint manufacturers on the shade "barn red". It appears if you are one to base your patriotism on the shade of your woodwork, to have a barn that isn't this traditional hue, just isn't American.
