The Gray Barn

Not the most original or inspired title in the world. I was going to name this photo "Childhood Memories", since I grew up in a small town in Connecticut and worked on a vegetable and tobacco farm during spring weekends and during the summer after schools (my math teacher owned the farm). There were many barns, and we hung broad-leaf tobacco in the barns to dry. I enjoyed that work at the time, but figured the "Childhood Memories" worked for me, but would not make sense to anyone else. So, "The Gray Barn" is all I could come up with! Maybe there's a seminar somewhere I could take on creatively naming photos! This scene is from Faust Park in Chesterfield, Missouri. The park was established to forever preserve the original estate of Missouri's second governor, Frederick Bates.
