Picture perfect barn scene in Harwinton CT
When Cheryl and I pulled up to this barn scene on a quiet, rural road in Harwinton, we knew it had all the elements for a great image. A gorgeous barn, horses, corral, beautiful tall trees in the foreground, stone wall, surrounded by sunlit trees all laid out perfectly on a manicured, clutter free, lot. The sun was directly overhead eliminating those long, harsh, ugly shadows. What a winner this was!

The perfect barn of “Pine Hill” in Burlington CT
I was able to get Cheryl parked safely off the side of the road on this very buy highway in Burlington CT where this pristine barn sits. Standing on the edge of the road, with vehicles whisking by at about 50 mph, I was able to frame up a nice composition of the Pine Hill Barn. I don’t think this is a working farm but rather a residential address where the homeowners maintained the original barn beautifully over the years. The residence is seen peeking through the tree’s on the far right edge of the image. Five stars go out to these homeowners for the time they’ve spent preserving history…

Another beautiful barn in Roxbury CT
Another barn on our “to do” list of barns in gorgeous Roxbury CT for Cheryl and I. As you can see it’s a beautiful, tranquil setting that was most likely a bustling cow farm back in the day. The property owner came over to us and was very cordial welcoming us to photograph the barn as we liked. We shared our website address and hope he stops by to see the finished results. If you do please tell us what you think! The entire shot is “as is” however the stone wall was modified in photoshop for artistic reasons. Photographed with a Sony A7RII, 42.4 MP full frame, mirrorless camera…

Another old barn in gorgeous Roxbury CT
Another address on our list for Cheryl and I as we went barn hopping during a gorgeous spring afternoon in Roxbury CT. Home to only around 2300 residents, with little commercial development and a lot of farm land, this journey was a true pleasure. I decided to take in all the beautiful stone work in the lot opposite this barn. I don’t know if that land belonged to the barn owner or not but I felt it enhanced the image. There is a town road that seperates the lot in the foreground from where the barn sits but it’s hidden behind the stone wall. Photographed with a Sony A7RII 42.4…

Beautiful Roxbury CT!
Located in eastern CT about a 20-25 minute ride east of Waterbury CT sits the lovely town of Roxbury CT. Settled in 1796 with a current population of around 2200 people you feel like you’ve gone back in time. It was so nice to see such an expansive area that had not been disturbed by the modern trend of “farmland to residential/commercial use”. Cheryl and I didn’t have time to drive through the entire town but all the area’s we were in seemed like original undisturbed farmland many of which had barns still standing. Some of which were working farms today. This particular barn was the gem of the day…

Old white barn in Roxbury CT
This was another Roxbury CT barn that Cheryl and I had on our list today. It was a beautiful day for a ride in the awesome Roxbury countryside. This old barn has seen better days. Because I’m a barn nut I think it has a very nice look to it, at least from this angle. However the opposite side had large gaping holes, the floor is rotting out, the roof is leaking and it’s open to wild life. It’s just a matter of time for this old relic of days gone by but that’s what pictures are for right? The memories. Photographed with Sony A7RII, 42.2 MP full frame, mirrorless…

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
