Iconic Olympia Diner, Berlin Turnpike, Newington CT
Olympia Diner 3413 Berlin Turnpike Newington CT 06111 PH: (860) 666-9948 Having lived in central CT all my life I’ve driven past this diner, on the Rt.15 (the Berlin Turnpike), thousands and thousands of times. I’ve also eaten there on numerous occasions and always ordered a “breakfast” meal regardless of the time of day. I found the diner to be clean, the wait staff friendly, and the food delicious. The individual stereo units at each booth are a nice touch and bring you back to another era. I photographed this diner at night because I wanted the glow of the big neon lights to be very prominent in my image.…

Harwinton Barn scene
Just as a side note I’ve been shooting barns a long time in CT and Harwinton has got to have the most barns of any town I can remember. This particular scene is part of a several acre lot home to horse stables and riding area’s. However, this was the only barn I had a decent shot on without entering the property. I had the pleasure of working with my beautiful wife Cheryl today. Photographed with a Sony A7RII 42.4 MP full frame and a Sony 24-105 F4 lens @ 57mm. 1/400th, f11, ISO 640, Aperture Priority

It’s a one horse show…………..
Another day of barn hunting with my beautiful wife Cheryl. This barn was on a fairly well traveled route through Harwinton CT. However, having said that bear in mind Harwinton only has population of about 5000 people so it’s still a nice country road. I only had this one angle on the barn and I couldn’t wait for the horse to be in a better position because I was being eyeballed by an individual who I don’t think wanted me there. So it was one and done and out in a minute for this photographer. Fortunately I was able to walk away with an acceptable image. Photographed with a Sony…

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!

Windmill, Harwinton CT
Windmill located on the grounds of the CT DEPT. of ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION WESTERN DIVISION headquarters in Harwinton CT. Cheryl and I were barn chasing this day and happened upon this unique structure by shear luck. The windmill is 73′ tall and has a pump and a water holding tank which was used in early years. It was built in l936 and restored in 1993. It listed as one of CT’s historic buildings.

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…
