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.
this is on the banks of Wastwater and i can tell you these bikers didn't bomb along it like you would think...they sauntered actually.
We saw less than a dozen people this day up there.
Bet its been a tad different this week!!
I took this for today's Macro Mondays theme `It’s All About The Shadow'---a macro image of a backlit spring casting a shadow (I also tweaked the colour slightly to boost the colour in the spring). I did originally have a different idea, but that involved the sun being out here, lol!
With storm clouds behind and golden hour light breaking through, Q351 comes around the southwest wye and down the west siding at Deshler. The cantilever is lined for northbound Q510.
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.

Dedicated to CRA (ILYWAMHASAM)
For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
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.
