Rustic Red Barn, Near St. Croix Cove, Nova Scotia
___
Scenery does not get more picturesque than a rustic barn or cozy cottage situated against a body of moving water or a lush green field. While hues of red seem to be the color of choice for barns and barn doors along the maritime coast and nearby farm fields, shades of grey, blue, yellow and a few other colors sometimes sneak in. These barns, sheds and cottages from around Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are typical of the serene coastal and rural scenery throughout the region. (Click on image to enlarge.)

These are very beautiful Brett. Love the composition in the Rustic Red Barn especially!

Reblogged this on oBSCURA CAMERa.
Nice job on these images; red barns are a great subject!
Thanks! They are!
the shipyard barn is well adorned.
I need to do a post of just places that hang those buoys.
Yah, that would look great. In your other post with the blue floating cottages, there is another house well “adorned”.
You have a good eye!
You posted it didn’t you. It’s for us to see. And thank you for posting.
Love the barns! The one with the cow is traditionally picturesque!
Micheline, thanks!
Amazing! Very glad I found this post ^_^ I look forward to seeing more of your posts 😀
AlainaFae, thanks for your kind words!
Be good, Brett
Love the concept of this blog! And I love your photos and musings on Canada–growing up in Maine, it was my most ubiquitous and cheery neighbor!
Thanks so much! Nice to hear of the Maine connection. That state is one of my favorite places and I was just up there last month. I’m probably partial to the east coast of Canada largely because it reminds me so much of Maine.
Wonderful shots, fabulous colors. Your blog is a pleasure to follow!
Thanks so much! Barns can make for good photos!
