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.

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.

The Comstock Bridge – East Hampton CT
Cheryl and I visited The Comstock Bridge, which spans the Salmon River. It is located in East Hampton CT just off of Rt. 16 on Comstock Bridge Rd. Built in 1840 the bridge has undergone a number of updates. As you view the interior picture you get a sense of how much wood has been replaced from the original. It’s a very tranquil spot to spend a while and just reflect. You can cross from one side to another and go underneath the bridge which is often times the site of fly fishermen but not today. Photographed with a Nikon D7100 and Nikon 18-55 typically at F11 and F16, Aperture…

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…

Grazing the field in Bethany CT
This is the largest horse barn I’ve come upon. Located on a side street off the main road in Bethany CT it probably offers a lot more than just boarding. I was able to catch this horse grazing near the fence and I was able to get him in the shot up close with his barn off in the sunset. Photographed with Nikon D7100 and Nikon 18-55 @ 24mm (35mm equiv.= 36mm) 1/125th, f16, ISO 400, MANUAL MODE
