    Abandoned Barn, No.Branford, CT

    While travelling on Rt. 80 in North Branford, CT, mid February of 2015, I spotted this beautiful old barn.  I stopped the car, got out, and took this picture from the other side of the highway. It’s cropped rather tightly because there were numerous electrical wires cutting through the tops of the tree line.  In addition there were telephone poles and filthy colored snow from the plows in the foreground.  Ultimately the easiest solution was a tight crop. Photographed with a Fujifilm F100fd, 12mp, pocket camera.

    Abananded Barn – Somers, CT

    [wzslider autoplay=”true” interval=”6000″ height=”800″ info=”true” lightbox=”true”]While driving down Main St., in rural Somers CT, I happened upon these beautiful aging old barns.  It was simply by accident but these barns married well with my affinity towards abandoned buildings and character rich barns. Luckily I had my trusty Fujifilm F100fd, 12 mp, digital pocket camera stowed away in the center console.  It’s usually there as a backup and today it served that need.  I wish the fixed zoom lens had more width as I could have used it.  However you make the best with what you have and the vantage points that are available. I can’t make out the faded lettering…

    Abandoned Barn – Cheshire, CT

     I was driving down Ives Row in Cheshire, CT when I noticed this old barn. I did a U-turn and, pulled to the side of the road, and shot this scene out my drivers window.  I used a Sony Nex 7, 24 mp, digital camera and a Sony 10-20 mm wide angle zoom.  1/125, F 6.3, ISO 100.

    Abandoned Building – Stratford, CT

    [wzslider height=”800″ info=”true” lightbox=”true”]While working as a salesman in Stratford, CT I observed this abandoned building. Research has determined that this is the old Ross and Roberts Manufacturing plant which had closed their doors for good, in early 2008 due to increased taxation and operating costs. Best I can determine they manufactured:  Fabric,Laminating & Bonding (Mfrs), Coated & Laminated Paper NEC (Mfrs), Plastics-Products-Retail. This building occupies the space between the redemption center and a Dunkin Donuts on 1299 West Broad St. The area was posted “private property” so I did not choose to venture off the roadway. The remnants of a rather large foundation are evidence that a good sized building…
