    Old Barn, Todd St., Hamden CT

    Nice looking old barn on Todd St., in Hamden CT. What makes this one unique is the addition of a chimney. They must have been venting stove pipe into it. Photographed with a Sony A7RII 42.2 MB, full frame mirrorless camera and a Sony FE 24-105 lens @ 51 mm. 1/200th, f11, ISO 400, Aperture Priority
