Takes a hit but is still standing…………………….
Cheryl and I were pleasantly surprised at how beautiful this old barn looked when we pulled up to it. It was first on our list of barns this Saturday afternoon in Burlington CT. We clearly were starting our journey off on the right foot! In a state of abandonment it’s barely clinging to life. A collapsed roof on the left side and foliage that just won’t quit she still stands boldly with her giant silo as the sun lights her up from behind. From a historical standpoint I hate to see any barn fall in a state of disrepair or, worse yet, be torn down. From an artistic perspective sometimes…

The perfect barn of “Pine Hill” in Burlington CT
I was able to get Cheryl parked safely off the side of the road on this very buy highway in Burlington CT where this pristine barn sits. Standing on the edge of the road, with vehicles whisking by at about 50 mph, I was able to frame up a nice composition of the Pine Hill Barn. I don’t think this is a working farm but rather a residential address where the homeowners maintained the original barn beautifully over the years. The residence is seen peeking through the tree’s on the far right edge of the image. Five stars go out to these homeowners for the time they’ve spent preserving history…

German Shepard protects Burlington barn……………
Look closely into the image and you’ll see a German Shepard lying in the grass perhaps claiming his territory. Either way I thought it good to keep my distance. You’ll also notice that somewhat thought it was appropriate to spray paint HAPPY B-DAY. Cheryl mapped out our next barn while I quickly photographed this with my Sony A7RII 42.4 MP full framed, mirrorless and a Sony 24-105 F4 @ 37 mm. Scene shot as it except foreground (grassy area) was modified in Photoshop. 1/160th, f11, ISO 200, Aperture Priority

Unique barn in Burlington CT
Cheryl and I were chasing down barns in Burlington CT this sunny Saturday afternoon. I particularly liked the unique design of this barn and the way the wood aged. Although I’m not a big fan of bright sunny days for shooting I did like the way the sun fell through the tree’s onto this barn and the end result. NOTE: This barn actually sits just a few feet from an asphalt roadway which totally ruined this shot. I did take the liberty to remove the roadway in photoshop and substitute it with a nice grassy lawn which I had photographed minutes earlier elsewhere in town. Photographed with a Sony A7RII…

Don’t knock on this door!
If you look closely, this mysterious small A-Framed structure, is visible in the woods of Burlington CT from the roadway. The bold sign on the front door states “POSTED-NO TRESPASSING”. So, like I always do, I respect private property and no trespassing signs and didn’t get closer than the image shows. What lies within this rather cool and mysterious looking structure? I don’t know and I’ll never know but I do think it made for a cool image. Cheryl stayed in the car planning our route for our next barn stop. Photographed with a Sony A7RII, 42.4 MP full framed mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-105 F4 @ 34 mm.…

Don’t look like a barn to me………………..
The harsh son didn’t lend the best lighting for this image captured in Burlington CT. It also doesn’t look much like a “barn” to me. It’s a nice building and well maintained but a barn? Not so much. Surprisingly Cheryl and I went here because it was listed on the CT HISTORIC BARNS website. It has a poured foundation and new siding/roof. To me it looks more like a meeting hall than a barn but, since I was there, I photographed it anyways. Photographed with a Sony A7RII, 42.4 MP mirrorless and a Sony 24-105 F4 @ 43 mm. 1/250th, f11, ISO 200, Aperture Priority.
