Abandoned Silo in Oxford
I was travelling through Oxford CT with Cheryl and our dog Molloy when we came upon this cool old abandoned Silo. There was an industrial park built all around it which is not really visible from the picture. In fact I was standing on the property of a company while taking these pictures. This seems to be all that remains of what was once a working farm. Photographed with a Sony Nex 7,APS-C 24.3 mp mirrorless camera and a Sony 18-55 lens at 18mm (APS-C equiv. = 27mm). Handheld 1/20th, f11, ISO 100, APERTURE PRIORITY

Remnants of what once was a dairy farm.
This was a working farm for nearly all of the 20th century. In 2000 the Town of Cheshire purchased the 93 acre property. The town rents out the old Lassen homestead (not shown). NOTE: The field in which the barn sits has been slightly modified for artistic purposes. Photographed with Nikon D7100, Nikon 18-55 mm @ 18 mm. 1/400th, f16, ISO 400

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. This is certainly an out of the way, hidden gem, in the rolling hills of Litchfield, CT. I’m sure they have a “downtown” somewhere but I didn’t happen upon it. All I saw was farms and sprawling estates. Because of it’s reclusive nature this part of the world has been home…
