Old farm & barn, Durham CT
An old tractor sits quietly in a farm on the Chamberlain Highway in Berlin CT. The barn in the back ground has been unoccupied for years and years. I had always thought, by virtue of the construction, that this barn once occupied chicken coups. If any of you have any history on this barn please write in. Photographed with A Nikon D7100, 24MP camera and an 18-55 lens at 55 mm (35 mm = 82 mm). 1/160th, f11, ISO 1000

Church of the Resurrection, Wallingford CT
Church of the Resurrection 115 Pond Hill Rd. Wallingford CT 06492 (203) 265-1694 http://resurrectionct.org/ I photograph churches based on either historical significance or unusual/beautiful architecture. I felt that this church has beautiful lines and is somewhat unusual in it’s construction. I remember when the church was built in 1965 and, frankly, it doesn’t look like it has aged much. Still a beauty! Photographed with Nikon D7100, 24MP camera and Tokina AT-X-11-20mm shot at 20mm. (35mm equiv.= 30mm). 1/60th, f18, ISO 400

Barn in Bethlehem CT
Cheryl and I were out “barn hunting” in Bethlehem CT and came upon this beautiful white barn. It appeared that the 2nd floor was full of hay bails. Like my father before me I worked on a dairy farm as a kid. I remember being at the top of one of those conveyors receiving bails of hay and having to stack them as fast as I could to keep up with the farmer below. It was hot and the air was not very healthy but it was a memory I wouldn’t trade. Photographed with Nikon D7100, 24MP camera and 18-55 mm lens shot @ 35mm (35mm equiv = 52 mm).…

Beautiful aging barns in Woodbury CT
Nicely maintained and structurally sound cluster of two barns and a shed in Woodbury CT. The barn on the right is not fully seen in the image. SUGGESTION: While photographing I walked up and down the roadway shooting these barns from various angles in my reflective vest. At one point the homeowner was in the driveway and glanced over at me quickly. Very politely I said, from the roadway, that I’d like to explain what I was doing. Still without setting foot on the property and making this person feel uneasy I explained that I’m just a hobby photographer who travels around the state photographing old barns. I explained that…

These are folks that take care of their barn. With a fairly new shingled roof and staining that hasn’t faded much you can tell they want it to last. This barn is in the countryside of Woodbury CT in a residential area. Nikon D7100, Nikon 18-55 mm @ 40 mm 1/100th, f11, ISO 400
