    Rooster Rise Farm, Berlin CT

    Looks like this beautiful large aging red barn, situated on the Rooster Rise Farm, has weathered many a storm and is still proudly standing. It has a very grand design and a thing of beauty in the countryside of Berlin, CT. I’m not from Berlin so I don’t know exactly what they farm at the Rooster Rise Farm. I didn’t see any cattle so I’m presuming its vegetables these days. That’s just a guess however. The roof looked to be in good condition, not counting the deteriorating roof of the one level structure in front of it that you can barely see through the tall grass. I hope the owners…

    Barn on North Harwinton Rd., Plymouth CT

    Old red barn and silo makes for a beautiful scene as the sun sets behind it on North Harwinton Rd. in Plymouth CT. Just to the right of the barn, under the tree, you can see the white of the farm house peeking through. Photographed with a Nikon D7100 and Nikon 18-55 @ 18 (in 35mm: 27). 1/125th, fll, ISO 100, Aperture priority

    Barn on Whitmore Rd., Middlebury CT

    This was another barn on our list for Cheryl and I today in the town of Middlebury CT. It’s situated on Whitmore Rd. with it’s “modern” looking garage door entrance. I suspect that the owners park their cars in there and needed a working automated garage door. However, it’s the garage door that gives this barn an unusual look. All in all it has a nice appearance tucked away amongst the surrounding foliage. Photographed with a Nikon D7100 and a Nikon 18-55 lens @ 42mm (63mm = 33mm equiv.) 1/320th, f16, ISO 500, Aperture Priority

    Sunshine Dairy Barn, Middletown CT

    Absolutely beautiful farm belonging to the Sunshine Dairy Farm in Middletown CT.  I’m not sure if this farm is currently in use but, to the best of my knowledge, they had a rich history providing diary products to the Middletown area for many, many years. Photographed with Nikon D7100, Nikon 18-55, 3.5 – 5.6 @ 24mm 1/200th, f10, ISO 200, Aperture priority

    Nicely maintained barn in Middleton CT

    Looks like the owner of this attractive barn on the corner of Country Club Rd. and Bell St. in Middletown CT has kept up with the wood exterior nicely.  It seems to have a nice even coat of stain and is aging nicely. Photographed with a Nikon D7100 and a Nikon 18-55, 3.5 – 5.6 @ 26 mm. 1/320th, f8, ISO 200, Aperture Priority

    Technology comes to an old barn

    Cheryl and I were barn chasing in East Hampton CT and photographed this  barn which was topped with a solar panel on Hurd Park Rd. I’ve photographed a lot of barns and this is the first one I’ve seen with a solar panel.  I like the old tractor they had situated on the property. Photographed with a Sony Nex 7, 24 MP, mirrorless camera and a Sony 55-210 @ 100 mm. 1/250th, f11, ISO 400, Aperture priority
