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).…

Abananded Barn – Somers, CT
[wzslider autoplay=”true” interval=”6000″ height=”800″ info=”true” lightbox=”true”]While driving down Main St., in rural Somers CT, I happened upon these beautiful aging old barns. It was simply by accident but these barns married well with my affinity towards abandoned buildings and character rich barns. Luckily I had my trusty Fujifilm F100fd, 12 mp, digital pocket camera stowed away in the center console. It’s usually there as a backup and today it served that need. I wish the fixed zoom lens had more width as I could have used it. However you make the best with what you have and the vantage points that are available. I can’t make out the faded lettering…
