Beautiful Monroe Congregational Church
Monroe Congregational Church (Founded 1762) 34 Church St. Monroe CT After I had just photographed the one room schoolhouse just down the street Cheryl and I headed over to what was the original green of Monroe. Once there we noticed, what is almost always the case in every town, a beautiful Congregational Church. I took my gear and headed over to the green, accross the street, to see if I could frame up the shot with some of the surrounding environment. Photographed with a Sony A7RV, 61MP mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-70 F2.8 GMII lens @ 24mm in late fall. 1/125th, f8, ISO 100, MANUAL MODE

A walk in the park.
If you’re a reader of my blog you know that I love Hubbard Park. I grew up in Meriden and Wallingford and have come here a 1000 times. This was a Thursday afternoon at lunch time in early February. I decided to leave work for an hour and get a little relaxation with the camera. It was fairly void of people except for some lunch time walkers. I drove around the park once looking for what I could possibly make a shot out of and came up with this. In the spring and summer you’ll see couples getting married at this gazebo or having their formal wedding pictures done there.…

Barn and Silo in Woodbury CT
Per usual, Cheryl mapped out our next barn stop in the car while I photographed this one. It’s double silo tells me it was most likely a cow barn back in the day for a small farm. I don’t know what’s its purpose is today. Is it used for storage, is someone living in there or are they trying to maintain the history? The fairly new roof tells me that they owners are taking care of it. Photographed with Sony A7RII, 42.3MP full framed mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-105 F4 lens @ 41mm. 1/200th, f11, ISO 640, Aperture Priority.

Barn – Mount Carmen Ave., Hamden CT
Looks like the barn to the right/rear was probably the original and the barn in the foreground was added at a later time. These barns are situated on a nice piece of property on Mount Carmel Ave. in Hamden. This road is probably best known for Sleeping Giant State Park and Quinnipiac University. Hopefully the owner is able to tend to the gaping hole in the roof before too much serious deterioration is done. Other than that the exterior has been preserved fairly well. Photographed with a Sony A7RII 42MP full frame, mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-105 lens at 34mm. 1/250th, f16, ISO 400, Aperture priority.

Quintessential New England
I was doing my usual thing looking for old barns in the northeast country side of Connecticut when I saw this house situated on a main road. It was Early October and the leaves were just starting to turn. The style of the house, the flag on the front, the hand crafted stone wall, it all said New England to me. Quintessential New England! I can smell the apple pies baking in the kitchen. Photographed with a Nikon D7100 and a Nikon 18-55 @ 55mm (in 35mm-82). 1/200th, f11, ISO 400, Aperture Priority.

Cow Barn, Coventry CT
Cheryl and I were barn hunting in Coventry CT and added this to our already nice collection of Coventry barns from a previous trip. It appeared to me that this cow barn was still in use. Could possibly use a little paint but, all in all, was holding up fairly well. I was happy to see “Old Glory” proudly flying near the front entrance. Photographed with: Nikon D7100, NIkon 18-55 @ 22mm (35mm equiv.=33mm) 1/250th, f11, ISO 200, Aperture Priority
