Iconic Barn (American Flag) -Roxbury, CT
Many photographers throughout CT and surrounding area’s have made the trek over to Roxbury, CT for the purposes of photographing this very unusual and eye-catching “iconic” barn on the property of the Greyledge Farm. So when I learned of this beautiful scene I wasted no time in taking this photograph. Originally I emailed the owners of the Greyledge Farm and asked for their permission to enter the property and take photographs. They were very cordial in allowing me to do so.

Abandoned Cow Farm – Roxbury, CT
[wzslider autoplay=”true” height=”800″ lightbox=”true”]I visited Roxbury, CT for the purposes of photographing an iconic barn with an American flag painted on the side (which I did). However, while there I noticed this old abandoned cow farm. I’ve worked as an on the road salesman in CT for over 30 years and I don’t ever remember going to Roxbury, CT.

Motorcycle riding Santa!
[wzslider height=”800″ lightbox=”true”]In keeping with the Christmas spirit I put together this Christmas Still life. I had a photo of the snowmen already which I used as my back drop. A sheet of cotton served as the “snow” on the ground. Santa is a gift I received a few years back from my Mother In Law. One light was used overhead and slightly to the left. Push the button and the motorcycle rocks back and forth while Santa sings some holiday tunes! Anyway’s I thought it made a fun still life. Merry Christmas to all!
