    Snow capped Southington CT barn

    I vaguely remember that this beautiful old barn was somewhere in “central” Southington CT.

Photographed with a Nikon D7100, Nikon 18-55 @ 34 mm (35 mm equiv. = 51 mm)   1/100th, f11, ISO 100, Aperture priority

TIP:  If I’m shooting on the road, any road, I wear a brightly colored reflective safety vest.  I also purchased, for merely $8.00, an orange collapsible safety cone which I put on the roadway about 30 ‘ before my vehicle to alert oncoming cars.  Keep your four way flashers going as well.
