The Portland Bridge, Portland CT
To us locals it’s known as the Portland Bridge as it connects Middletown to Portland CT. However, its official name is the Arrigoni Bridge. This image was taken in Cromwell on the river bank of the Connecticut River. In the background is Middletown. Only about 1/3 of the bridge was visible from my vantage point.…

Setting sun on a beautifully aged Meriden barn.
I had my list of barns to find this day and when I came upon this one it did not disappoint. Not only had it aged beautifully but, typically, any barn scene with majestic silos will usually shine in an image. Just on the other side of the barn, (out of picture), were about a…

Olson’s Bridge in Deep River CT
While “barn hunting” in Deep River CT the Olson’s covered bridge (private property) presented a beautiful site on manicured acres of property.

Hidden gem in Deep River CT
This small, but beautifully aging, barn is situated on a residential lot in the countryside of Deep River CT. I love the way the wood has aged. The only thing that would have made this even better is if the original roof was still in place. Photographed with a Sony Nex 7, 24.3 MP mirrorless…

Ray White’s Metallic Eagle, Bethlehem CT
While Cheryl and I were driving through rural Bethlehem CT we happened upon this beautiful metallic welded American Bald Eagle in an open field on the side of the road. Immediately I pulled the car over and, fortunately, had my camera gear with me. The Eagle is probably about 6′ tall from claws to the…

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.…
