    Partially Abandoned Barn, Coventry CT

    Horse and Barn, Durham CT

    [wzslider height=”550″ lightbox=”true”]Photographed in Durham CT.  I Was driving around the country looking for barns when I happened upon this horse grazing in this beautiful setting.

If you’re wondering what prevents the horse from running off there was an electric fence in the thick brush in the foreground of the image.  I did remove it in photoshop for aesthetic reasons. Photographed with Nikon D7100, 18.0-55.0 mm f/3.5-5.6, shot at 55mm. 1/80, f/16, ISO 100
