Description
A beautiful winter scene of two old barns located here in Bardstown Kentucky. The snow along with the blue skie and clouds really make the barns stand out. All of the elements really came together for this image. I have added effects along with a texture to enhance the photo so it would have a painterly look.
The word barn comes from the Old English bere, for barley (or grain in general), and aern, for a storage place�thus, a storehouse for barley.[3] �Another word for 'barn' in Old English was beretun, "barley enclosure" (from tun: 'enclosure,' 'house',[4] or beretun (barton), also meaning a threshing floor.[5] However, the common English name for a grain storage building now is granary.
Modern barns may include a stable, from Latin stabulum �stall, fold, aviary� (literally "a standing place,"),[6] byre (�cow shed�, from bower which is from Old English bur� "room, hut, dwelling, chamber," from Proto-Germanic *buraz (cf. Old Norse bur "chamber," Swedish bur "cage," Old High German bur "dwelling, chamber," German Bauer "birdcage")...�,[7] or stall, �...place in a stable for animals," from Old English steall "place where cattle are kept, place, position," and Proto-Germanic *stallaz (cf. Old Norse stallr "pedestal for idols, altar," Old Frisian stal, Old High German stall "stand, place, stable, stall," German Stall "stable," Stelle "place".

How picturesque! There's just something about a red barn, isn't there? I really like your processing here, Darren. Liked.
