Olson’s Bridge in Deep River CT
While “barn hunting” in Deep River CT the Olson’s covered bridge (private property) presented a beautiful site on manicured acres of property. A nice winding road led up to the bridge allowing access to the other side of a small creek which fed into a pond. As this was private property I was forced to put a long lens on the camera and take my images from the road side. I understand that in the winter they put a beautiful wreath on the side of the bridge, which when snow covered, makes for a gorgeous wintry shot. You can rest assured I will be back when the snow flies. Photographed…

A barn sits at the end of this long and winding road.
This was really the only vantage point I had on this barn. The road you see appeared to be private so I didn’t dare travel too far down it. There was some type of farm at the end but due to all the tree’s I couldn’t tell what kind of a farm it was. I had to use a long lens to even get this image. Sony Nex 7 mirrorless camera with Sony 55-210 @ 82mm (35mm equiv. = 123mm) 1/320th, f11, ISO 100, shutter priority TIP: when photographing with a long lens and you are hand holding set your shutter speed at least the same as the longest end…

Beauty comes from within…………
Beauty comes from within….within the barn that has two trees growing inside, that is. Yup, this old weathered, half falling down barn has been in a dilapidated state for so long that two tree’s growing from within it have gotten to be over 20′ tall. Here the lies the true beauty of why this barn stands out amongst the Deep River CT countryside. You won’t see that every day, even among abandoned barns. Sony Nex 7 with a Sony E 55-210, 4.5 – 6.3 zoom lens @ 110 mm (35 mm equiv. = 165) 1/200th, f8 ,ISO 100, aperture priority

Hidden gem in Deep River CT
This small, but beautifully aging, barn is situated on a residential lot in the countryside of Deep River CT. I love the way the wood has aged. The only thing that would have made this even better is if the original roof was still in place. Photographed with a Sony Nex 7, 24.3 MP mirrorless camera and a Sony 18-55 mm lens. 1/160th, f8, ISO 400 at varying focal lengths.

Resting barn under the summers shade in Berlin CT
This well built old barn sits snuggled between two trees enjoying the shade on a hot summers day. Located on Chamberlain Hwy. in Berlin CT. You don’t see a lot of brick foundations for these old barns like this one has. Even more unusual is the custom window at the peak of the side wall. Unfortunately when I zoomed in I could see that the window was missing the bottom center and left window panel. The ground level window was also missing some panels. When I see this it makes me question how well the interior is holding up because it always becomes a haven for birds.Nevertheless it certainly looks…

Drowning in ivy…………Berlin CT
This beautiful old barn is slowly becoming one with nature as foliage overcomes it. I would think it’s a pretty fair assumption that this barn has been put out to pasture. I’m glad that it, at least, has not been torn down (yet?). There is still a story her to be told and, as far as I’m concerned, these old barns have charm until they can’t stand any longer. This barn was one of a handful on Orchard Rd. in Berlin CT. Photographed with Nikon D7100 and a Nikon 18-55 lens at 40mm / 60mm equiv in 35. 1/160th, F11, ISO 100 A Two shots were taken: One of the…

Huge old barn proudly flies the colors……………….Berlin CT
This “L” shaped barn packs some serious square footage. If you look to the left bottom corner of the barn you’ll see that there is a walk-in to the basement. It looks as if the roof was replaced at one time. Overall the barn is in pretty decent shape and certainly has a fair amount of curb appeal. Located very close to the adjoining homes I was not able to offer a wider view of the grounds it sits on. This barn is on Chamberlain Hwy, Berlin CT. Photographed with a Nikon D7100, Nikon 18-55 lens @ 35mm, (52=35mm equiv.) 1/250th, f11, ISO 100 APERTURE PRIORITY.
