Took these shots with my Canon Canonet 28 a while back. This was the first time I'd used this camera with it's full automatic feature. Jefferson Ohio Fairgrounds in March, believe it or not, even though it was only 22 degrees F on this day, equines were exercising their horses. This is our one and only Octagon Barn here in Ashtabula County. People travel for miles just to see this barn. This is the Root Road Covered Bridge, one of 19 covered bridges here in Ashtabula County. This is the Middle Road Covered Bridge here just south of Conneaut near Hatches Corners. I took a picture of the plaque installed by the historical society. Check out the woodgrain detail in this picture, it would be better if I could afford a better scanner. Still, the Canonet 28 takes great pictures. Kodak VR G-100 print film.

Nice work Randy. Makes me regret not using my Canonet 28's more often. I have three I bought really cheaply and have only run film through 2 so far. I like the woodgrain and covered bridges but my favourite has to be the octagon barn. Never seen one before. Thanks for sharing these.

Very nice pictures. The shot of the interior of the bridge is particularly striking.

A spot of history too. What do walkers do if someone drives through - jump into the rafters at the side? Is there any particular reason for the barn being octagonal - such as a horse mill inside where horses walked round and round.

Sid, I'm not sure about the reason, but there seems to be quite a history here in Ohio for octagonal barns and houses. There is an Octagon House here in town that is in the National Registry of Historic Buildings.

I especially like the inside shot, great job of showing depth.
