Picture perfect barn scene in Harwinton CT
When Cheryl and I pulled up to this barn scene on a quiet, rural road in Harwinton, we knew it had all the elements for a great image. A gorgeous barn, horses, corral, beautiful tall trees in the foreground, stone wall, surrounded by sunlit trees all laid out perfectly on a manicured, clutter free, lot. The sun was directly overhead eliminating those long, harsh, ugly shadows. What a winner this was!

Old grey barn in Roxbury CT
Cheryl and I loved the town of Roxbury so much that we decided to come back this weekend. Once again it was a beautiful day for being out. This barn has a rather unique look with a silo that is capped differently than most and a basement entrance. It is located on Apple Lane. Photographed with a Sony A7RII, 42.4 MP full frame, mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-105 F4 lens @ 39mm. 1/250th, f11, ISO 320, Aperture Priority

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.

Nicely postured barn.
This barn is only about 20′ or so from Maple Ave. which is a fairly busy street. I think whoever built it had a wonderful design. It looks large and grand, with it’s tall walls, while at the same time is not overpowering for being a “neighborhood” barn. This is now the 2nd time I’ve seen a flat stone foundation like this in Shelton and that isn’t typical in general. I have to tell you I’m a big fan. The adjoining stone wall ties everything in so beautifully. I think the foliage also helps downplay it’s size. The cupola is gorgeous and different from what I’m used to seeing in…

Barn in Avon CT
Cheryl and I stumbled upon this barn while barn hunting in Avon CT in December of 2018. Except for some minor damage on the cupola it has been maintained well with, what appears to be, a recent quote of exterior paint. Photographed with: Nikon D7100, Nikon 18-55 lens @ 40 mm (60mm = 35mm equiv.) 1/400th, f8, ISO 200, Aperture Priority
