Quaint One Room house in Roxbury CT
While barn hunting in Roxbury CT one sunny Sunday afternoon Cheryl and I stumbled upon this quaint old one room home. It doesn’t appear that it’s occupied but, at one time, I’m sure it was. It’s reminiscent of the 1800’s replete with granite slab footings, wood shingles, exterior siding, gutters and downspouts. The stone fireplace must have more than adequately provided heat on those cold New England nights. This was difficult to drive by without capturing an image.

A page from the past……….
As I get older I get more and more nostalgic, amongst other things. So a few years ago Cheryl bought me a small metal, table top, replica motor scooter because it reminded me of the one I rode in high school. It was about 12″ long and 7″ tall. I decided to bring it into my studio and take a close up of it. Mostly because I’ve been stuck at home during this Covid-19 outbreak. I needed stuff to photograph. So we drove to Platt High School where the Oregon Rd. entrance had remained unchanged despite the remainder of the exterior seeing substantial additions over recent years. This was basically…

Beautiful setting in Roxbury CT
After a long afternoon of shooting barns the sun was setting nicely for Cheryl and I. If you look past the tall silo you can see that the landscape goes on as far as the eye can see. Another beautiful barn setting in the gorgeous town of Roxbury CT.

Another old barn in gorgeous Roxbury CT
Another address on our list for Cheryl and I as we went barn hopping during a gorgeous spring afternoon in Roxbury CT. Home to only around 2300 residents, with little commercial development and a lot of farm land, this journey was a true pleasure. I decided to take in all the beautiful stone work in the lot opposite this barn. I don’t know if that land belonged to the barn owner or not but I felt it enhanced the image. There is a town road that seperates the lot in the foreground from where the barn sits but it’s hidden behind the stone wall. Photographed with a Sony A7RII 42.4…

Well kept barn on the side of the driveway……….
This barn is located just adjacent to the main home that is on the right side of the driveway out of the picture. It’s obvious that the homeowners have done a good job keeping it in tip top shape.

Beautiful Roxbury CT!
Located in eastern CT about a 20-25 minute ride east of Waterbury CT sits the lovely town of Roxbury CT. Settled in 1796 with a current population of around 2200 people you feel like you’ve gone back in time. It was so nice to see such an expansive area that had not been disturbed by the modern trend of “farmland to residential/commercial use”. Cheryl and I didn’t have time to drive through the entire town but all the area’s we were in seemed like original undisturbed farmland many of which had barns still standing. Some of which were working farms today. This particular barn was the gem of the day…

Old white barn in Roxbury CT
This was another Roxbury CT barn that Cheryl and I had on our list today. It was a beautiful day for a ride in the awesome Roxbury countryside. This old barn has seen better days. Because I’m a barn nut I think it has a very nice look to it, at least from this angle. However the opposite side had large gaping holes, the floor is rotting out, the roof is leaking and it’s open to wild life. It’s just a matter of time for this old relic of days gone by but that’s what pictures are for right? The memories. Photographed with Sony A7RII, 42.2 MP full frame, mirrorless…

Picture perfect!
First on our list of barns to photograph this Saturday afternoon in April was this absolutely pristine barn in Woodbury CT. We chase barns and we’ve seen a lot of them but few will stack up to the maintenance that this barn has seen over the years. It was so well kept that I almost thought someone was living in it. However, I couldn’t see any drapery in the windows so I’d have to assume that it still functions as a barn. It’s was absolutely beautiful with the addition of a main entrance and an add on room to the rear. Photographed with a Sony A7RII 42.4 MP mirrorless, full…
