Nice maintained old barn in Watertown, CT
Cheryl and I were combing Watertown looking for old barns. The town didn’t seem to have many. This barn is the nicest one we could find and it has been kept up over the years very nicely. It sits on a stone foundation which is the only hint of its age but the remainder is pristine. These folks obviously have made the effort and it shows. Photographed with a Sony Nex-7, 24.3 mp mirrorless camera and a Sony 18-55 lens at 27mm (APS-C equiv.= 40mm). I/800th, F8, ISO 800, Aperture Priority

Christian Barn in Harwinton CT
I love everything about this stoic looking barn sitting high on a Harwinton CT hillside. It has quite a presence and the addition of a cross made crudely out of two pieces of unfinished lumber tells it all. Perhaps there is a message as the bright light from above breaks through the clouds and makes it’s presence on the barn. Photographed with a Sony A7RII, 42MP, full framed, mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-105 F4 lens @ 43mm. ISO 200, 1/160th, f11, Aperture Priority

Harwinton Barn scene
Just as a side note I’ve been shooting barns a long time in CT and Harwinton has got to have the most barns of any town I can remember. This particular scene is part of a several acre lot home to horse stables and riding area’s. However, this was the only barn I had a decent shot on without entering the property. I had the pleasure of working with my beautiful wife Cheryl today. Photographed with a Sony A7RII 42.4 MP full frame and a Sony 24-105 F4 lens @ 57mm. 1/400th, f11, ISO 640, Aperture Priority

A Monroe CT barn……..
The second of only two barns that we were able to capture on our journey to Monroe CT this bright sunny June afternoon. It looks like we’re in the middle of the country but in actuality this was the only angle on the barn I had due to the proximity of the buildings on each side. This was a small, winding, but well travelled road in the midst of this residential neighborhood. I had to make it quick because with all the vehicluar traffic going by my car presented a bit of a hazard. Having said all that this is certainly a nice old barn with some character. The property…

Old Cow Farm in Litchfield CT
Another barn on the list for Cheryl and I in Litchfield CT this bright sunny day. This property covered many acres and was a beautiful site to see. I’m sure at one time this was a bustling farm replete with farm house as seen in the right distant side of the image. However, with it’s boarded windows I believe the farm house is no longer occupied. I didn’t see a lot of activity or any livestock during my visit so I’m not sure to what extent the farm is utilized today. With it’s towering silo’s and acres of fields I’m sure there was a lot of cows to feed back…

There’s beauty in this mess…………
At first glance it just looks like an overgrown mess. However, when you look closer you’ll see the beautiful roots spiraling up the tree to the right of the barn. The streaks of shadows, painting it’s west side, lend character to it’s already aging charm. With tears of rust and grime emanating from the window panes she perhaps longs for some attention. If you’ll look closely you’ll see the adjoining home, in much better condition, peeking through the V of the double tree. Yes, overgrown and unkempt but it’s nature intertwining with man’s creation and that can be beautiful. Live on old barn, live on! Photographed with a Sony A7RII…

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

Hidden behind the fall foliage a beauty still stands…….
Another gorgeous barn quietly hidden beyond the fall foliage of New England on Burnt Hill Rd. in Hebron CT. This barn actually sits behind a farm house (to the left out of view). However, it was completely blocked by the yard and trees. I was forced to drive down the street a bit and shoot accross a swampy wetlands area with a long lens to reach it. The long lens compresses the image and gives the appearance that it is closer to the road than it actually is Photographed with a Sony Nex 7, 24MP, mirrorless camera and a Sony 55-210 F4.5-6.3 OSS lens at 109mm (in 35mm = 163).…
