This lonely cottage by the dunes and brush of a late-autumn Atlantic beach reminds me of a half-remembered setting from The Spy Who Came in from the Cold near the start of the novel, on the Dutch coast. There’s a lonely quiet to the image but the road and house suggest some respite on the horizon.
The great glowing verticality of Bushnell Tower at night reveals the strengths in I.M. Pei’s original design.
A classic Porsche in front of a classic New England clapboard home on Martha’s Vineyard looked so much like something out of a circa-1990’s Ralph Lauren or J.Crew catalog that I just had to rock some color grading to complete the editorial effect. Now where’s the tall man with the chunky sweater?
Down at the end of the long and windswept path to Lighthouse Beach and the Edgartown Harbor Lighthouse, can you spot the little figure of the walker between the bushes?
Tiny details of docks and homes and lighthouses against the grand scope of a late-autumn Martha’s Vineyard coastline make this a image for which I would really encourage you to click through to the full-sized version on Flickr.
A big, dramatic golden dome really stands out against a sky of dramatic Rayleigh-scattering-blue clouds, but views of the Connecticut State Capitol always leave me wondering what-ifs… This was the original site of Trinity College, which relocated to make way for this current structure. How would this high point in Hartford appear with Trinity here instead?
When the angle of the sunset aligns correctly, we see a deep blue hour sky with that sunset light reflected on the panes of the Gold Building. A perfect contrasting color combination.
Before the advent of drones with front-mounted cameras that can point up (without photographing the bottom of the drone body above them), I never thought of capturing a big dramatic sky so completely while flying.
We’ve been visiting Stowe, Vermont for a long time and I’ve even shown you this creek before, but today I bring you an entirely new and more wintery perspective, flying high over the snow-touched village.
Atlantic weather ages every part of Martha’s Vineyard, but the combination of textures and colors of age (rusted iron, grayed cedar, turned leaves) really captures a broad spectrum of possibility. The somewhat “impossible” geometry of the image places them in juxtaposition.
A walk on a crisp fall morning with a dramatic sky is just a little better when it’s also a wedding day.
A fog of Macbeth/Shakespeare/Weird-Sisters-level strangeness descended on Hartford last night.
A black Nissan raising a huge cloud of white tire dust is already 80% of the way to being in black and white, so I finished the job.
No idea how this standard Amsterdam bicycle came to rest in the middle of a canal bridge, but the combination of transportation modes speaks to the Dutch experience pretty effectively.
A pack of Japanese sports cars going sideways in a haze of tire smoke should best be described as “driftacular”.
