Shadow Shot Sunday - Railings and rails

The Ansonia Greenway on an early April Day. Captured by the always lovely Patti

Shadow Shot Sunday 2 returns in late Spring as I present a view from earlier in the season. We are in Ansonia on the greenway perched upon the flood control wall next to the Naugatuck River, In the background is the Metro North commuter railroad just leaving the trestle on the way South. With shadows that look as wavy as the chop on the river. Sun, shadow and Spring - a trifecta for this Saturday's Belmont Stakes and SSS2!

Tina's Pic Story - Fences

Tina's Pic Story is back - the theme this week provided by Tina is Fences. This iron fence is on the street side of the Elm Street Cemetery or Old Episcopal Graveyard in Ansonia. It is reputed by some to be the oldest burial ground in the US; The oldest remaining marker is that of Rev. John Bowers, a clergyman who died in 1687. I do not know the age of the fence, guess from the 1800s. It is a fascinating place to visit as the headstones tell stories of area residents from centuries before. A fence that surrounds history...

Tina's Pic Story - Along the fence

Kalmus Beach, Nantucket Sound, Cape Cod MA

Tina's Pic Story is back - she kindly provides the weekly theme, we provide the picture. Today it is "Along the Fence'. The beach is subject to erosion, so often as it is here, the grasses and storm fence are planted beyond the beach so that sand is not returned to the sea during a storm - it keeps the sand on the beach (and more of it between our toes :)
