Resting barn under the summers shade in Berlin CT
This well built old barn sits snuggled between two trees enjoying the shade on a hot summers day. Located on Chamberlain Hwy. in Berlin CT. You don’t see a lot of brick foundations for these old barns like this one has. Even more unusual is the custom window at the peak of the side wall. Unfortunately when I zoomed in I could see that the window was missing the bottom center and left window panel. The ground level window was also missing some panels. When I see this it makes me question how well the interior is holding up because it always becomes a haven for birds.Nevertheless it certainly looks…

Drowning in ivy…………Berlin CT
This beautiful old barn is slowly becoming one with nature as foliage overcomes it. I would think it’s a pretty fair assumption that this barn has been put out to pasture. I’m glad that it, at least, has not been torn down (yet?). There is still a story her to be told and, as far as I’m concerned, these old barns have charm until they can’t stand any longer. This barn was one of a handful on Orchard Rd. in Berlin CT. Photographed with Nikon D7100 and a Nikon 18-55 lens at 40mm / 60mm equiv in 35. 1/160th, F11, ISO 100 A Two shots were taken: One of the…

Huge old barn proudly flies the colors……………….Berlin CT
This “L” shaped barn packs some serious square footage. If you look to the left bottom corner of the barn you’ll see that there is a walk-in to the basement. It looks as if the roof was replaced at one time. Overall the barn is in pretty decent shape and certainly has a fair amount of curb appeal. Located very close to the adjoining homes I was not able to offer a wider view of the grounds it sits on. This barn is on Chamberlain Hwy, Berlin CT. Photographed with a Nikon D7100, Nikon 18-55 lens @ 35mm, (52=35mm equiv.) 1/250th, f11, ISO 100 APERTURE PRIORITY.

Snow capped Southington CT barn
I vaguely remember that this beautiful old barn was somewhere in “central” Southington CT. By that I mean it was not on the outskirts of town in the wooded area but rather in a more downtown residential area. The barn itself was only about 15′ from the road. Photographed with a Nikon D7100, Nikon 18-55 @ 34 mm (35 mm equiv. = 51 mm) 1/100th, f11, ISO 100, Aperture priority

Soutghington Farm blanketed with snowfall
This large red barn fades into the evening as the beautiful lights from a New England sunset bring the day to a close on the outskirts of Southington CT. The farm owners home is seen peeking behind the left side of the barn. Photographed with a Nikon D7100, 18-55 @ 40 mm. 1/250th, f16, ISO 100, Aperture priority.

Barn in Avon CT
Cheryl and I stumbled upon this barn while barn hunting in Avon CT in December of 2018. Except for some minor damage on the cupola it has been maintained well with, what appears to be, a recent quote of exterior paint. Photographed with: Nikon D7100, Nikon 18-55 lens @ 40 mm (60mm = 35mm equiv.) 1/400th, f8, ISO 200, Aperture Priority
