A bank barn or banked barn is a style of barn noted for its accessibility, at ground level, on two separate levels. To the farming community, the Bank Barn is very important part of their Heritage. Very few if any new barns are built in this style anymore. Long may we see this history on our landscapes.

Congrats. I had no idea what they were called but have long admired the functionality of the design.

I'm glad this one got the recognition it deserved. You elevated an old barn into a treasure. Good historical context added! Congrats on your high finish.

You have chosen a viewpoint which shows this interesting old building well and gives enough visual information to see that there is access to a higher level on the far side. I love all that mist on the right! In my favourites.

Thank you for the information on the Bank Barn. I know I have seen one, but didn't realize the history or practicality of it. The fog is a great touch; also like the pp and the vignette.

It's a great composition and colours - but a bit bland. I know it would be excellent with the full pixel count.

beautiful tone and atmosphere from the colouring and the mist really makes this shot work.

Simple and beautiful shot of an old barn. I like the mist to the right too.

Lovely image. I'm a sucker for old barns. I've seen many of this style barn where I grew up.

Good choice of historic subject. Like the simple elegance of the scene. Though the green color seems a bit odd, it gives a sense of an old, hand-colored print. Nice!
