Beauty comes from within…………
Beauty comes from within….within the barn that has two trees growing inside, that is. Yup, this old weathered, half falling down barn has been in a dilapidated state for so long that two tree’s growing from within it have gotten to be over 20′ tall. Here the lies the true beauty of why this barn stands out amongst the Deep River CT countryside. You won’t see that every day, even among abandoned barns. Sony Nex 7 with a Sony E 55-210, 4.5 – 6.3 zoom lens @ 110 mm (35 mm equiv. = 165) 1/200th, f8 ,ISO 100, aperture priority

Resting barn under the summers shade in Berlin CT
This well built old barn sits snuggled between two trees enjoying the shade on a hot summers day. Located on Chamberlain Hwy. in Berlin CT. You don’t see a lot of brick foundations for these old barns like this one has. Even more unusual is the custom window at the peak of the side wall. Unfortunately when I zoomed in I could see that the window was missing the bottom center and left window panel. The ground level window was also missing some panels. When I see this it makes me question how well the interior is holding up because it always becomes a haven for birds.Nevertheless it certainly looks…

Snow capped Southington CT barn
I vaguely remember that this beautiful old barn was somewhere in “central” Southington CT. By that I mean it was not on the outskirts of town in the wooded area but rather in a more downtown residential area. The barn itself was only about 15′ from the road. Photographed with a Nikon D7100, Nikon 18-55 @ 34 mm (35 mm equiv. = 51 mm) 1/100th, f11, ISO 100, Aperture priority

Except for some minor damage on the cupola it has been maintained well with, what appears to be, a recent quote of exterior paint. Photographed with: Nikon D7100, Nikon 18-55 lens @ 40 mm (60mm = 35mm equiv.) 1/400th, f8, ISO 200, Aperture Priority

Barn between the Elms
Cheryl and I were chasing down a list of barns we wanted to shoot in Avon CT this chilly December day in 2018. Down the street from one of the ones on our list, low and behold, was this beauty. It was situated in an open field a considerable distance off. When photographed that way it lacked any interest. I then switched to a medium telephoto lens and stepped back into the roadway so I could frame the barn with the two elm trees. The telephoto helped “compress” the image bringing the barn closer to the trees. There was horribly harsh sunlight that day but fortunately the bulk of the…
