Well maintained barn with gorgeous rock foundation.
This huge, structurally sound barn has clearly been well maintained since it’s origin in 1911. I see a lot of barns and there are no weak spots here. The windows, the siding, the roof and of course that fantastic stone foundation are all up to date. It’s quite rare to see stonework like that on an old barn. I can only speculate how expansive and solidly built the interior of this barn is as well. It can be found on Valley Falls Rd., in Vernon CT. Photographed with a Nikon D7100 and a Tokina AT-X-11-20 F2.8 zoom lens set at 16mm (35mm equiv.= 24mm). 1/80th, f11, ISO 100, Aperture Priority

Pristine barn sits pretty in the field.
As you can see this barn has been kept up beautifully and presents a near pristine appearance. It was located on Valley Falls Rd. in Vernon CT. If this was shot with a wider lens you’d see that this barn is situated on probably about 10 acres of land, all of which is manicured. In fact there was a professional lawn crew tending to the grounds when I shot this photo. The only reason I couldn’t shoot it with a wide angle lens is that it would have appeared too small in the photo due to the distance from the camera. When I used a long lens it compressed the…

Barn in the sticks of Winchester CT
I was hunting barns in the northwest corner of Torrington CT when I had just crossed over the town line into Winchester. I stumbled upon this barn on what appeared to be a very narrow, poorly maintained country road. You had a sense that you were really in the country with little around. Photographed with a Nikon D7100 and a Nikon 18-55 lens at 20 mm. 1/250th, f11, ISO 100 Aperture Priority

Rooster Rise Farm, Berlin CT
Looks like this beautiful large aging red barn, situated on the Rooster Rise Farm, has weathered many a storm and is still proudly standing. It has a very grand design and a thing of beauty in the countryside of Berlin, CT. I’m not from Berlin so I don’t know exactly what they farm at the Rooster Rise Farm. I didn’t see any cattle so I’m presuming its vegetables these days. That’s just a guess however. The roof looked to be in good condition, not counting the deteriorating roof of the one level structure in front of it that you can barely see through the tall grass. I hope the owners…

Richs Farm, Oxford CT
Rich Farm Ice Cream 691 Oxford Road (Rt 67) Oxford, Connecticut 06478 When Cheryl and I pulled the car along the side of Rt 67 to photograph this absolutely gorgeous barn it started raining. I rolled down the drivers side window and was able to squeeze off two shots but it was raining to hard that I had to close the window and call it a day. Fortunately when I got home I was glad to see that I got a decent shot.
