If money’s not an option then build this monster barn.
What a monster of a barn on Ramstein Rd. in the Bakersville section of New Hartford CT. Judging from it’s design and pristine appearance I would think it’s fairly new construction. Although I typically photography “old” barns how could I resist this massive beauty? Photographed with a Sony Nex 7, 24MP, mirrorless camera and a Sony 55-210 F4.5-6.3 OSS lens at 55 (in 35mm = 82). 1/1000th, f8, ISO 400, Aperture Priority.

Still standing strong in retirement……..
This barn may have been put out to pasture years ago but it is still holding its own as foliage tries to overtake it on every side. I think it’s a gem of a barn and I hope it stands for many years to come representing all the hard work of the farmers who passed through it’s doors. It can be seen at the corner of South Rd. and Sabolick Rd., in the countryside of New Hartford CT. Photographed with a Sony Nex 7, mirrorless camera and a Sony 55-210, 4.5-6.3 OSS at 55mm (in 35mm=82). 1/200th, f11, ISO 200, Aperture Priority

Well maintained barn with gorgeous rock foundation.
This huge, structurally sound barn has clearly been well maintained since it’s origin in 1911. I see a lot of barns and there are no weak spots here. The windows, the siding, the roof and of course that fantastic stone foundation are all up to date. It’s quite rare to see stonework like that on an old barn. I can only speculate how expansive and solidly built the interior of this barn is as well. It can be found on Valley Falls Rd., in Vernon CT. Photographed with a Nikon D7100 and a Tokina AT-X-11-20 F2.8 zoom lens set at 16mm (35mm equiv.= 24mm). 1/80th, f11, ISO 100, Aperture Priority

Beautifully maintained barn in Newtown CT
As I was barn searching along South Main St. on the outskirts of Newtown CT I was struck by the stellar condition of this very old barn. The property owners had maintained this in such a manner that it is not only gorgeous but will last for many more years to come. As I was across the street taking shots of the barn I caught the attention of the Lady of the house. She approached me wondering what I was up to. I’m always fully transparent and told her about my passion for barns and this website. She advised me that her husband was going to be home in a…

Old glory blows in the breeze…………..
Old Glory sways in the gentle September breeze adding a touch of patriotism to this beautifully aging barn on Lovells Lane in Newtown CT. Photographed with a Sony Nex 7, 24 MP mirrorless camera and a Sony Carl Zeiss 24, 1.8 lens. 1/60th, f13, ISP 250, Aperture Priority

Done for the day in Shelton.
The sunsets on another day of farming in the country side of Shelton CT. The hay conveyor sits idol as daylight fades. These two barns are in pretty good condition.
