Hard to see but Paul, Tom, Jerry & Bill.

Is the backdrop a stable, or a horse auction house.

Looks like someone had two triangle templetes and were trying to see how many shapes they could come up with. Either that or someone's a very good shot.

The barn is part of an interesting estate that's being handled by Tom717. He had a great story to tell us about the barn....and the estate

Sorry for late reply.....not able to be online all day today
***********************************

Tom717 says that the barn is one of the most famous in Pennsylvania....due to the story of the brick decorative pattern. Apparently, the mason who was hired by the farmer was not being paid for his work, so....as he reached the top of the north side (shown on pic) he depicted the farmer on top of a donkey.....

the proverbial Horse's Ass

The other interesting fact (which is how Tom learned the previous story from relatives): The recent owner (NOT the orginal donkey subject) died in the past year and our country lawyer, Tom, is representing the estate. The only WILL left by the farmer consisted of a diagram with words and arrows....pointing to different organizations or family member. Imagine the possible interpretations of this 'picture will'....leading to legal challenges to what was intended by the decedent

Who is ready for the next preview pic?

What could be more appropriate for an important historic AMERICAN site? Discounting the one abberation, what COULD I be talkin' 'bout

PS to Ready-Rob: At least give a couple others until the morning to 'guess'

Red, white and blue! The abberation is the yellow one, though Ms. Perky, Carm and Tachus will beg to differ.
