Octagon Barn in Southbury CT
Cheryl and I set our sails to Southbury CT, in early March, where we wanted to photograph this unique octagon barn. There were no trespassing signs around it’s circumference leading me to believe that the owner has seen his share of visitors over the years.

“Peace on Earth” – North Haven Barn
This charming old barn is situated on the east side of North Haven adjacent to a residence. It looks like it’s still in use and in nice shape. I chose this for the December image of my 2017 wall calendar not only because it’s beautiful and unique but because of the signage. Photographed with a Nikon D7100 24.3 MP DSLR and a Nikon 18-55 3.5-5.6 lens at 36mm (35mm equiv.) 1/250th, f5.6, iso 200, Aperture priority
