    Pristine barn sits pretty in the field.

    As you can see this barn has been kept up beautifully and presents a near pristine appearance. It was located on Valley Falls Rd. in Vernon CT. If this was shot with a wider lens you’d see that this barn is situated on probably about 10 acres of land, all of which is manicured.  In fact there was a professional…

    This barn is only about 20′ or so from Maple Ave. which is a fairly busy street.  I think whoever built it had a wonderful design. It looks large and grand, with it’s tall walls, while at the same time is not overpowering for being a “neighborhood” barn.  This is now the 2nd time I’ve seen a flat stone foundation…
