Abandoned barn in Harwinton CT
As usual, what most people drive by giving little notice, I find beauty. This aging, weathering, old barn set against a beautiful fall backdrop makes for a nice “abandoned” image. Photographed with a Sony A7RII, 42MP, full framed, mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-105mm at 65mm. ISO 400, 1/310th, f10, Aperture Prioerity

Aging comfortably in the middle of the woods ………….
Passing time nestled amongst the surrounding foliage this old barn sits in the countryside of Roxbury CT. I don’t know if the house in the left rear of the image is connected to the barn or not. Photographed with: Sony A7RII, Sony 24-105 F4 lens @ 50 mm. 1/250th, f16, ISO 800, Aperture Priority

There’s beauty in this mess…………
At first glance it just looks like an overgrown mess. However, when you look closer you’ll see the beautiful roots spiraling up the tree to the right of the barn. The streaks of shadows, painting it’s west side, lend character to it’s already aging charm. With tears of rust and grime emanating from the window panes she perhaps longs for some attention. If you’ll look closely you’ll see the adjoining home, in much better condition, peeking through the V of the double tree. Yes, overgrown and unkempt but it’s nature intertwining with man’s creation and that can be beautiful. Live on old barn, live on! Photographed with a Sony A7RII…

Nature has aged this barn beautifully in Middletown CT
Nature has taken it’s toll on this wonderful old small barn on or in the area of Bell St. in Middletown CT. New England’s tough winters have nearly collapsed the roof but, like us New Englanders, it will stand proud until it can’t stand any more. Once, most likely, the home for farm tools, it stands as a reminder of what once was. Photographed with a Nikon D7100 and Nikon 18-55 @ 22mm 1/500th, f10, ISO 200, Aperture Priority

A deer passes through in Madison
The only other time I photographed this barn was in the winter where the tree next to it was barren. I was rushed and shot it out of the window of my car and I momentarily pulled off to the side of the road. I was not pleased with the results and have been wanting to come back ever since. This was taken on Rt. 79. Folks that travel from Durham or Wallingford down to Madison pass this gorgeous barn all the time. They also know that this is a very busy, hi speed road, and the barn is situated on a curve in the road. This time I decided…

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 half dozen dairy cows in a small pasture. Photographed with a Sony Nex 7, 24MP, mirrorless camera and Sony 18-55 mm lens at 36mm. 1/320th, f11, ISO 400, Aperture priority.

Beauty comes from within…………
Beauty comes from within….within the barn that has two trees growing inside, that is. Yup, this old weathered, half falling down barn has been in a dilapidated state for so long that two tree’s growing from within it have gotten to be over 20′ tall. Here the lies the true beauty of why this barn stands out amongst the Deep River CT countryside. You won’t see that every day, even among abandoned barns.

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 camera and a Sony 18-55 mm lens. 1/160th, f8, ISO 400 at varying focal lengths.
