Old cow barn(?) – Morris CT
This is a beautifully built and appears still nicely maintained barn in Morris CT. As this image was taken from the road I could not see if this was an active farm or not. The writing over the end door says “Every Farm Needs a Team”. I think this was possibly a horse barn as there were images of horses on the sign over the end door. It looks like a cow barn to me but the sign made me think otherwise. Photographed with a Sony A7RV 61mp mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-70 F2.8 GMII lens at 51mm. 1/160th, f11, ISO 400, Aperture Priority

Barn – Morris CT
This barn appears to be the remnants of what was once a dairy farm in Morris CT. The reason I say that is because the rusted sign on the barn say’s “We Use DeLaval Milkers”. This is an IL company who manufacturers diary and farming equipment such as milking machines. This barn, being as small as it is, makes me believe that the main cow barn has been torn down over the years. This was a beautiful location for a farm and there is a beautiful mountain to the rear. I also love any barn that proudly displays “Old Glory” on the side such as this one. Photographed with a…

Epic Sun Rise – Nubble Lighthouse, York ME
This was the most dramatic sun rise either Cheryl or myself have ever seen in our lives. We were staying at a roadside motel right on the main strip at York Beach ME. We had a 2nd story, corner room, which was closest to the beach and had a wrap around porch. I had only gotten about 4-1/2 hours sleep when I heard Cheryl walking around on outside. Moments later she comes storming in, barely unable to contain her excitement, stating “get up, get up, you’ve got to shoot this sun rise”! Honestly I was exhausted and tried to get her to leave but she kept saying “you’ll regret not…

The Sun Rising on Nubble Lighthouse………..ME
The Cape Neddick Nubble Lighthouse, York Beach, ME photographed from about two miles accross the ocean at York Beach during sunrise. We had been staying for a short time in York Beach at a motel on the strip by the beach. Cheryl woke me up at the crack of dawn saying “You’ve got to see this sunrise”! Sure enough it was worth seeing. We set up our tripod just across from our hotel on the beach’s sidewalk and took this image. Photographed with a Sony A7RII, 42.3 MP full framed mirrorless camera and a Sony 200-600 F5.6-6.3 telephoto lens at 600mm. 1/640th, f8, ISO 400, Aperture Priority

Southford Falls in the Fall
I had been wanting to photograph Southford Fall in the fall and this was the last day I really had to do it before too many leaves were down. Unfortunately I would have to work in a fairly sustained driving rain. Not only did I have to be concerned with my equipment but the rain was knocking the leaves off the tree’s while I was. The rocks and leaves made for a slippery surface as I very carefully set up my tripod on the bank of the stream. I was perched about 6′ above the stream and the rain kept coming down. Being a bit clumsy and absent minded at…

Barn and Silo in Woodbury CT
Per usual, Cheryl mapped out our next barn stop in the car while I photographed this one. It’s double silo tells me it was most likely a cow barn back in the day for a small farm. I don’t know what’s its purpose is today. Is it used for storage, is someone living in there or are they trying to maintain the history? The fairly new roof tells me that they owners are taking care of it. Photographed with Sony A7RII, 42.3MP full framed mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-105 F4 lens @ 41mm. 1/200th, f11, ISO 640, Aperture Priority.

Permaquid Lighthouse, ME
Cheryl and I had targeted the Permaquid Lighthouse in New Harbor ME as a must shot for us. Upon arriving, in early September, we were quick to confirm that we certainly were not disappointed. This was perhaps one of the most serene peaceful and beautiful locations that we had ever photographed. Unfortunately my image doesn’t pay justice to what you really feel when you’re here. When you walk away from the parking area into the grounds and see this majestic view of the ocean and it’s absolutely breathtaking rock ledges you’ll be had. Once back in my office and looking at my images I had wished that I shot a…
