    Barn in the sticks of Winchester CT

    I was hunting barns in the northwest corner of Torrington CT when I had just crossed over the town line into Winchester.  I stumbled upon this barn on what appeared to be a very narrow, poorly maintained country road.  You had a sense that you were really in the country with little around.

    Unusual but beautiful barn in Plymouth CT

    This rustic looking barn had some unusual touches like the boxed in “X” patterns. It sat nicely balanced between two tall tree’s with the sun coming in from behind lighting up the tree’s and parts of the lawn. The sign on the front reads “The Leach-Stanton” barn. It’s located on North St. in Plymouth CT. Photographed with a Nikon D7100 and a Nikon 18-55, 3.5-5.6 @ 32mm (in 35mm: 48) 1/125th, f11, ISO 400, Aperture Priority

    Beautiful large old barn on Tranquility Rd., Middlebury CT

    This large well maintained beauty of a barn and Silo sits quietly at the end of a long autumn New England day on Tranquility Rd., in Middlebury CT. I’d love to know when this was built. I suspect it’s older than it looks as, I’m sure, this was all farm land back in the day. It is maintained unusually well for an old barn. All the white trim around the windows and doors are updated and in perfect condition. There’s not a broken window pane anywhere which means they don’t critters nesting inside and ruining the interior. The wood shakes have been flawlessly maintained. The inside must be all post…

    A old beauty on Tranquilty Rd., Middlebury CT

    This combination farm house/barn/garage is absolutely a work of art. If I had to guess it was probably built in the late 1800’s with post and beam construction. Although it’s very beautiful from the road it’s true beauty is in the detail. If I was able to go into these structures it would take me back in time. Built with such fine craftsmanship that they stand solid today after all these years. These grounds have an absolutely breathtaking view of Middlbebury’s valley. You can literally see for miles on end. Situated on Tranquility Rd., in this neighborhood, you’ll find some of the most beautiful homes you could ever imagine. Some,…

    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

    Nature has aged this barn beautifully in Middletown CT

    Nature has taken it’s toll on this wonderful old small barn on or in the area of Bell St. in Middletown CT.  New England’s tough winters have nearly collapsed the roof but, like us New Englanders, it will stand proud until it can’t stand any more. Once, most likely, the home for farm tools, it stands as a reminder of what once was. Photographed with a Nikon D7100 and Nikon 18-55 @ 22mm 1/500th, f10, ISO 200, Aperture Priority
