Old Cow Farm, Bethlehem
I was on my way to photograph another barn in Bethlehem when I spotted this farm scene off in a distance. It doesn’t appear that the buildings are actively being used but the presence of a tractor implies to me that the grounds are still being upkept. Photographed with a Sony A7RV, l24-70 f2.8 GMII lens at 55mm 1/100th, f16, ISO 100, Manual Mode

Abandoned mill, Woonsocket RI
Molly, (my dog), and I were driving around Woonsocket RI with camera in hand looking for a picture of an abandoned building. We only had about a half an hour of free time before we had to be somewhere so when we stumbled upon this old abandoned factory I took the picture. In my research I couldn’t actually ascertain what business was in here. I presume because this area was rich in textile mills that this was probably one of them. The height and length of this building was pretty typical of woolen mills. If you ever saw the inside of one you’d understand why. If any readers themselves or…

Abandoned aging old steel barn, Terryville CT
The three of us were out barn hunting and saw this beautiful old abandoned steel building in Terryville CT. It sat about 100 yards, in an open heavily overgrown field, behind what was once a major steel fabrication shop. So although I don’t know for sure it just seems like it could have been a maintenance shop for that facility. Although shot in color I rendered it in black in white to give it a sort of nostalgic look as it sits long abandoned and isolated. Photographed with a Sony A7RV, 61mp mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-70 f2.8 GMII lens. To get extra reach I switched to JPEG resolution…

Abandoned Consolidated Tobacco Company
The Consolidated Cigar Company in Glastonbury, CT *I, along with my wife Cheryl and our dog Molly, photographed what remains of the Consolidated Cigar Company and tobacco fields on Hubbard St. in Glastonbury CT. Below is a brief summary of it’s history and future. The Consolidated Cigar Company was established int he early 1900s in Glastonbury, CT. It quickly grew to become of the towns largest employers and taxpayers. At its peak, the company owned up to 1900 acres of tobacco fields in town. The company’s main facility was a large warehouse on Hubbard St., which was used to store and pack tobacco. However, as the demand for shade-grown tobacco…

Abandoned House in Meriden CT
Set back considerably off the road on N.Broad St., Meriden CT is this old abandoned home. Probably a thriving refuse for a growing family at one time now simply the bones remain. If anyone can like abandoned structures I must say I really like this one. If you look towards the top left corner of the house you’ll see a hawk sitting on an electrical wire. Photographed with a Sony A7RV, 61MP mirrorless camera. Lens was a Sony GMII 24-70 f2.8 using Clear image zoom 120mm. 1/500th, f8, ISO 1000, Aperture Priority

Beautiful old aging barn in Southbury
To me this barn is very striking. It appears to sit abandoned in the middle of the woods with no lead in road or path. Father time is having it’s way as the foliage creeps in around it and the paint fades. Two things I found unique. There is about 6′ overhang on the side nearest the viewer. You don’t see that on barns. The silo is also unique as well as the silos roof. The silo almost has a “home made” look to it but I’m sure was functional and I think gives this barn a lot of character. It’s a true relic. Photographed in the winter with a…

Abandoned Old Church in Southbury CT
While Cheryl and I were on the hunt for barns in Southbury we stumbled upon this old gem. Which, of course, isn’t a barn. I thought, at first, that it was some type of meeting house back in the day. I wasn’t able to find anything on the internet about it so I reached out to the Southbury Historical Society. Their President was kind enough to write back to me. She informed me that this was a church from 1827 – 1942 and that the steeple had fallen off. It was eventually sold to the resident living next door. Its current status is a little sketchy. Having said all that I…

Eddie’s Abandoned Bakery Shop
What struck me odd about this abandoned bakery was not so much that it was abandoned but rather where it was located. The picture gives the impression that it’s in the middle of the woods but it sits in a rural residential neighborhood of Southington CT. There are beautiful homes up and down this street and no commerical or retail entities. So you wouldn’t expect this. I suspect it was built before the neighborhood really took off. Who know’s? It just looked kind of odd to me but I’m sure the neighbors were happy to have good baked bread so close to home. When it went out of business I…
