Kremlin Yellow Buildings

Seeing the first building -- the large barn with the unreachable second floor door that we showed last week -- shining in its Kremlin Yellow was eyecatching and attractive. A warm color jumping from the green of the grass and forest and highlighting the neat buildings. Then a short walk down one way and a turn up one of the alles, and a cluster of buildings, still used for the work of the landscape, came into view.

Two possibilities come to mind: the yellow will either be far too much for the eye, or it will be an attractive signature that becomes unforgettable. If the color is routine, the effect is boring. Neither of the negatives comes into play on a sunny morning at St. James Farm. Rather, the best option, that of the attractive signature, is clear in these pictures. Small building or large, the color stands out and makes every building belong, every building worth remembering, every building a portrait.

Even the vehicle storage building with the convex mirror to check oncoming traffic, reflecting a bit of yellow on adjoining buildings. The signature of St. James Farm.

Our next post will be a visit to on on-site cemetery plot, very peaceful and respectful.
