    Cow Barn, Coventry CT

    Cheryl and I were barn hunting in Coventry CT and added this to our already nice collection of Coventry barns from a previous trip. It appeared to me that this cow barn was still in use.

    Historic Barn, Coventry CT

    [wzslider height=”600″ lightbox=”true”] Aaron Strong Museum 2382 South St. Coventry, CT 06238 Carpenters shop or carriage shed (c.1730) built by Aaron Strong, maternal great-uncle of Nathan Hale (I’m not sure which as the museum was closed when I went by).  Nathan Hale’s house is a mile or less down the road.

Nikon D7100, 18.0-55.0 mm f/3.5-5.6 @ 18.0 mm.

If I had to guess the farmer probably just uses stores hay in the loft. While photographing I was approached by a middle aged man in overhauls with a thick build that years of farming had obviously developed.  I was concerned that he would object to my photo’s but, to the contrary, he just wanted to know what I was up to and was a very cordial…
