Sunrise Farm – Farmington/Avon CT area
I love signs painted on barns. In this area they are not easy to come by. I thought the cupola was particularly nice.

One person did write that it was built in 1876 but I don’t have any proof to support that. Photographed with a Nikon D7100, 24 mp camera and a Nikon 18-55 zoom lens at 45/67mm. 1/160th, f13, ISO 200 Aperture priority.

I then switched to a medium telephoto lens and stepped back into the roadway so I could frame the barn with the two elm trees. The telephoto helped “compress” the image bringing the barn closer to the trees. There was horribly harsh sunlight that day but fortunately the bulk of the…
