The barn on the hill – Woodbury CT
Cheryl and I were fortunate enough to find this beautiful barn. We’ll be back a couple of more times to chase down more barns in this rural old town. We were quite pleased with the way it sat atop the hill with a field of wild flowers or possibly just ragweed. Either way they offered up some nice bright yellow for the foreground.

Abandoned Mill – Paxton MA
Moores State Park in Paxton MA is a nice tranquil area with a good sized pond, brook, waterfall and 18th century sawmill. This is the image I took of the sawmill mid September of 2021. Unfortunately the better shot is from the backside which shows the water wheel and the brook running alongside but I wasn’t able to gain access for a good shot. Normally I wouldn’t have even photographed the waterfall because the lighting was so horrendous but knowing I may never be back I did so anyway. I took a series of (40) shots in rapid succession at 1/30th, F11, ISO 100. I then merged them in camera…

A pumpkin welcomes visitor to this rust Kent CT barn.
With fall in the air, and Halloween around the corner, Cheryl was excited not only to see Old Glory adorn the entrance of this rustic barn but a bright beautiful pumpkin sitting at the stoop as well. Golden leaves adorned the landscape, and a colorful sky shown through, this barn made quite an impact on us in the lovely town of Kent CT. The homeowners house, (out of sight to the right), had a sign that said 1835. I don’t know when the barn was actually constructed. Photographed with a Sony A7RII, 42.4 mb, mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-120 zoom lens at 39mm. Aperture Priority, F8, 1/320th, ISO 1000.…

Beautiful Kent CT Barn in the Fall
Cheryl and I went to scenic Kent CT this fall for the purposes of capturing some beautiful barn images. You’d never guess it but this was photographed on the edge of a downtown parking lot. Just behind me about 50 – 100 yards were hundreds of people taking advantage of the fall weather going in and out of small quaint shops and restaurants. However, everything pointing west, in the direction of my camera, was just scenic countryside. Kent is situated in the northwest region of CT bordering New York State about a 45 minute drive north from the City of Danbury. There is a special charm to Kent and worth…

One of Harwinton CT’s best ………..
This beauty was on our list of shots that day in Harwinton CT. As I pulled up I knew I had a winner but the sun was destroying the shot. It was in the low 90’s that afternoon. There were some clouds overhead. Cheryl patiently waited in the car as I stood on the street edge for at least 25 minutes waiting for cloud cover. Eventually it happened. I had nice diffused daylight for about 30 seconds. I got the shot I needed and was on my way. Some barn scenes click with you, some don’t. There was something about this barn that I liked.

An interesting barn lies almost out of view …………
It was a hot Saturday afternoon in Harwinton CT while Cheryl sat in the cool of the car and I hopped out for a second to take this shot through the trees. This was not a planned shot, we happened upon this barn while on our way to another location. There was no access to the barn and it was only visible through a slight opening in the trees. Unfortunately there was a much larger, white colored, barn in the back ground which interrupts the flow of the image slightly. At first glance I thought this was an “A” frame barn which I can’t remember ever seeing. However, when I…

It’s a one horse show…………..
Another day of barn hunting with my beautiful wife Cheryl. This barn was on a fairly well traveled route through Harwinton CT. However, having said that bear in mind Harwinton only has population of about 5000 people so it’s still a nice country road. I only had this one angle on the barn and I couldn’t wait for the horse to be in a better position because I was being eyeballed by an individual who I don’t think wanted me there. So it was one and done and out in a minute for this photographer. Fortunately I was able to walk away with an acceptable image. Photographed with a Sony…
