Finally, That Old Barn

Posted by Mike on

I have been driving past this old barn for over 20 years. I barely gave it a second thought as I flew by on my way to work or out with the family. It wasn’t until I started my interest in photography did the old barn take on a different look for me. I started to notice how the light would play across the remnants of the structure or reflect off the top of the silos. I finally broke through my hesitations and stopped yesterday just before sunset to capture a few pictures.

Flow Gate

Posted by Mike on

On my way back home from the West Canada Creek the other day I stopped at another location I had spotted earlier in the year. It is an old flow control gate for the Cincinnati Creek which is accessible from a fishing location off Route 28 just east of Route 12. I really liked the rusted gate mechanism as you can see in the pictures below. Obviously, this has been a favorite location for kids over the years…
