Abananded Barn – Somers, CT
[wzslider autoplay=”true” interval=”6000″ height=”800″ info=”true” lightbox=”true”]While driving down Main St., in rural Somers CT, I happened upon these beautiful aging old barns.

While driving through the country
[wzslider height=”800″ info=”true” lightbox=”true”] On my way home from work, in central Connecticut, I noticed these two cows standing alone in a large empty field. I parked the car, grabbed my carmera and walked over to the fence. To my surprise the smaller cow came over to say Hi. I think she just wanted someone else to talk to besides her friend.

[wzslider height=”800″ info=”true” lightbox=”true”]While driving through Branford, CT I spotted this unique barn with a water wheel at Rose Orchards. I quickly jumped out of the car and took the shot. I didn’t have much time to set up as it began pouring rain with the first click of the shutter.
