Colorchallenge Monday Red- The barn
Most old barns are colored red. I wonder why? So red that they even pop up when not expecting them to. Like trying to capture nice photos of your kids.

That's one high end Red Barn, nice pics
Hundreds of years ago, many farmers would seal their barns with linseed oil, which is an orange-colored oil derived from the seeds of the flax plant. To this oil, they would add a variety of things, most often milk and lime, but also ferrous oxide, or rust. ... It turned the mixture red in color.
Very interesting. I did not know that. Its high end because it is a public animal farm in one of our parks.
