Old barn & US flag, July 4th, Rocky Hill CT
It was the 4th of July weekend and Cheryl and I were travelling down a side road in Rocky Hill, CT when we saw this beautiful old barn. The site of Old Glory hanging from it’s side made it special. I’ve since been by this barn and the flag has been removed. Apparantly put up to commemorate the 4th only.

In addition there were telephone poles and filthy colored snow from the plows in the foreground. Ultimately the easiest solution was a tight crop. Photographed with a Fujifilm F100fd, 12mp, pocket camera.

Abandoned Tractor – Meriden, CT
[wzslider height=”800″ info=”true” lightbox=”true”] This tractor and barn sat on property across from the Westfield Shopping Mall in Meriden, CT for years unattended. Target moved in and developed the land. The tractor remained for a few years at the entrance to Target but was demolished sometimes during 2012. I found this to be a rather interesting scene.
