Toby hosts the fun architectural meme Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors. Earlier this afternoon, I drove our son to the train platform in Milford Connecticut. In the interest of speed, I kindly asked the lovely Patti if she could capture the 'station' and she kindly agreed. Taken from the north platform (southbound train toward NYC), the opposite platform was captured. There is no station as such these days with e-tickets the norm...happily the early 1900s (?) building is still being used, and seems just right in B&W. All aboard!
Shadow Shot Sunday 2 is back, and we look at the shadowy world from many angles. And if I am the designated driver, the lovely Patti is the designated photo taker (cannot be too safe :)
Here is on the way to the wedding we attended last week by the water. This view by the seawall in the Morris Cove section of New Haven and it is on the road along the sea wall. Those who live nearby have spectacular and shadowy views of the harbor while keeping my eyes on the road.
Thanks m'lady!
Ruby Tuesday 2 returns as do I after a short hiatus. We look for ruby reds whenever and wherever we can spot them...At the 25th annual meeting of my favorite non-profit Center for Disability Rights, aka: CDR. I have been a board member, employee and these days a contractor for them. Twenty-five years is quite a milestone for this, or any, non-profit, and I have been helped by them in a number of ways so we celebrated in style...the cakes were donated by a baker - however, instead of the half-sheet cakes, these were full-sheet. Way more cake for the 95-100 who attended the dinner, so doggie bags were available for all, a sweet favor to remember the event :). Patti (who wrote a newspaper story) stood on a chair to capture this sweet and stylish scene with a ruby or two for the desert course...
Toby hosts the architectural meme Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors, and we look at interesting items from all over. Today, I am in our small city of Ansonia CT in a newly paved parking lot/car park across from many an old building lining the west side of Main Street. I don't know exactly when each/all were built, although the from the 1890s onward. At least some of the storefronts are filled with restaurants and retailers. Nondescript, it is a normal slice of life in our burg...
The return of Shadow Shot Sunday 2 is here for the week. Patti and I went to a wedding on Wednesday at Lighthouse Point Park in New Haven - the reception is in the carousel house at the city owned beach, and it was a very nice affair with the ceremony for the very attractive couple held on the sunny and sandy beach. Naturally, the many offered many a shadow opportunity, especially outside the 1916 building. These views include the Southwest Ledge Light at the entrance of New Haven Harbor - the cylindrical light was built in 1877 and is constructed of cast iron and shadow. The other views are of Long Island Sound water and a carnival going on in this urban oasis. Along with a fun and tasty reception and fireworks over the opposite West Haven shore. Celebrations and shadows - could anyone ask for more?
