Why did farmers build round barns? Many believed that round barns were efficient in a number of ways:
The round barn had a greater volume-to-surface ratio than a rectangular barn.
There is an estimated a 34% to 58% savings in cost of materials compared to a rectangular barn.
The open floor gave farmers space to work without having to dodge the posts supporting the building.
Farmers could also work in a continuous direction.
Feed was often stored in the center of the barn, making it easy to distribute to the stalls.
Stalls were wedge-shaped, which actually fits quite well with the natural shape of cattle.
But efficiency was just one of the reasons some farmers built round barns. Many people believed that round barns were stronger and could better withstand severe weather. Others thought that the design stayed warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

First photowalk with Alejandro, my nephew, this last summer
Taken for Looking Close on Friday theme: Cup and Saucer
Susie Cooper design - Glen Mist. The only cups and saucers we own belong to this set inherited from Rod's Mum. They are very sweet coffee cups which look lovely on display but hardly ever used.

While this is a bit... simplistic, I looked down and just had to take this. Quite like how it turned out.

A view across the lagoon from the northern side. A nice walk to get to this spot. Located not far from housing but also in amongst tall eucalypts. Back Lagoon is adjacent to the ocean and a creek also feeds into it further up and around the bend. Back Lagoon at Merimbula on the Far South Coast of NSW AUS.
A bend in the River Taw as it meanders near its source on Dartmoor with the lower slopes of Cosdon Hill rising above the valley on other side.
Spiral threaded glass vase in ancient Roman style. The object is cyclical in many ways - exit and entrance are the same. The vase shares these properties with most of the religious buildings (and with a number of very ancient animals without anus, flatworms
for example). You have probably never thought about this. But much of our lives takes place in a cyclical perspective - exit and entrance the same, the beginning identical with the end. There is a fundamentally different perspective, however - the straight line, running from A to Z. And that one shapes our lives too, and is where the analogy of the vase collapses.
