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. I very subtly parked my car off the road down the street and walked over to the opposite side of the road to take the images. In and out in less than two minutes. I am very sensitive to homeowners and barn owners as to not impose upon them.
Unfortunately I couldn’t find any historical data on this barn except that the Southbury Historical Society dates the construction at circa 1910. I’ve been photographing barns a long time and can’t recall seeing an eight-sided barn prior to this.
Photographed with a Sony A7RV, 61mp mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-70 F2.8 GMII lens @ 66mm.
