USM		       Extra Info: The Bank Barn, historic development to modern day farming

The Bank Barn first made it's appearance in the 1660's in the UK and was widely built in the 19th century in North America.

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.

Nov 14, 2016		     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.

Nov 13, 2016		     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.

Nov 13, 2016		     It's a great composition and colours - but a bit bland. I know it would be excellent with the full pixel count.

Nov 11, 2016		     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!
