Fantastic Red Barn Pictures and Photos. Red barn pictures portray the splendor of the icon symbol of traditional farm life. Think of a farm and in your mind a picture will pop up of Old MacDonald with his farm animals in a big red barn.So, why were barns painted red? There are many theories, but the likely reasons are these:
Red is a traditional barn color. Basically, European farmers used linseed oil to preserve the wood on their barns, which produced a dark red color. Red paint contained ferrous oxide, which helped preserve the wood from decay. Red paint was just cheaper to buy. Red was just fashionable in farming communities. And it gave a nice contrast to the traditional white farmhouse.
Take a drive through rural America, and red barns are a common sight. All across the nation, barns have an important function on the farm. The barn is the place where farm animals were kept warm and safe; a dry place for crops to be stored for those long winter months.
