These two captured my imagination in the New York subway. What is that man listening to? Where did that lady get her scarf?

Abstract Overpass Leave a comment
I loved the lines of this intersection as we drove past it. Shot out the window with my iPhone, I had to be quick to capture the angle, as my wife wasn’t about to stop driving just so I could adjust the settings.

This lovely spot outside our house is even quieter in winter, when the snow smothers all sounds.

Frozen Beach 1 comment
I got a taste of what it must feel like to cross the Arctic ice when I walked across the frozen bay of our little town beach (for 2 minutes). The tides caused much of the ice to break in unusual formations, as seen in the second picture.
Clinton Harbor 1 comment
Located in Long Island Sound, Clinton Harbor provides a serene place to keep your boat ( I decided to post a picture that doesn’t feature snow and ice.)

These ice flows were waiting for high tide to float and join their companions in the Long Island Sound:

Well, it’s abandoned at least until summer returns. For now, the only sounds you hear are the cries from seagulls.

Overheard in a Coffee Shop:
“Going to the bathroom has become such an undertaking.”
“If they’d both come over, they’d kill each other.”

The temperatures have been low enough that the salt water of Long Island Sound can freeze, and pile up on our town beach. Click on any photo to see them in slideshow mode.

Went to bed before midnight, so I’m using a shot I took a few years ago in New York. Happy New Year, everybody!
Mayflower II, Like a Fish Out of Water Leave a comment
The Mayflower replica, usually moored in Plymouth, MA, is currently at the Mystic Seaport shipyard, the only shipyard on the Eastern Seaboard qualified to restore antique ships like this one. It’ll be there for the next 6 winters, with the goal to have the restoration completed in time for the 400th anniversary of Plymouth in 2020.

Not a blacksmith with occult powers, but one located in Mystic Seaport, Connecticut.
Although the rays of sunlight did give this location a somewhat divine feel.

Named after the actor, not the razor company, this castle is located above the Connecticut River in Connecticut. I like the black&white version better, how about you?
