The top picture is of an old barn in Bristol, Vermont, which I photographed in 2010 and believe has now collapsed completely. I wonder how long ago it was built? The second picture is of a barn at Totara Flat on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand. I am not sure but I think that our architect, John Scott, had this building in mind when he designed the bach we built just South of Hokitika in 1973.
