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. Unfortunately due to heavy brush growth on both sides straight on was the only shot I had. I was unable to gather any info. off the internet as to the history of this barn. 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.

The silo stands majestically through the trees.
I’m standing in the center of Birdseye Rd to take this shot. It is a very rural, infrequently traveled road on the outskirts of Shelton CT. If it wasn’t for my reflective vest you’d have difficulty seeing me due to all the shade the surrounding tree’s provided. I see a pickup truck slowly approaching me. Sure enough it was the owner of the farm. I’ve met a fair amount of farmers over the years while photographing their barns and they all share one thing in common. They just don’t look like people you’d want to mess with. Years of demanding farm work have built them into strong looking dudes. Rudi…
