A huge facade of reflective glass is just the thing to amplify the pink clouds of a perfect evening in Hartford, Connecticut.

Towers’ Spring Reflections

2026-Apr-292026-Apr-30 adohertyhLeave a comment

Bushnell Park in Hartford plays host to spectacular spring sights that juxtapose nature and life with the stark linear forms of skyline towers. I love the effect—but then, cities are my favorite places.

Spring Near Downtown

2026-Apr-27 adohertyhLeave a comment

We returned to Connecticut just in time for a display of peak Southern-New-England springtime perfection; though the photographs from our trip through the Mediterranean will return soon, I couldn’t help but share our charming local neighborhood.

Heublein Tower at the Start of Spring

Central Connecticut’s Heublein Tower (a good topic for a much longer post) keeps watch over the very start of spring.

Three Springtime Views of Trinity College’s Chapel

2026-Apr-13 adohertyhLeave a comment

Flowers emerging around Trinity College’s chapel tempted me into a multi-photo study of the contrast between spring pastels and epic limestone.

Don’t make me get up early, but if I’m awake anyway… Give me a good sunrise.

Trinity Chapel

Neo-Gothic architecture demands dramatic, high-texture black-and-white and I know how to deliver.

Approach the Schlenk Line

Air-free chemical processes require specialized apparatus like the glass Schlenk line inside this dramatically lit fume hood.

Bushnell Tower in a Blizzard

2026-Mar-30 adohertyhLeave a comment

Though even April doesn’t guarantee and escape from blizzards in New England, I’m nonetheless cathartically purging myself of wintery aesthetics, like I.M. Pei’s Bushnell Tower standing proud at the edge of Hartford’s downtown.

Snow on the Stegosaurus

2026-Mar-27 adohertyhLeave a comment

Calder’s “Stegosaurus” is an enormous color outlier in the neutral snow color scheme of downtown Hartford.

Windy St. Patrick’s Day on Pratt Street

2026-Mar-25 adohertyhLeave a comment

Hartford’s Pratt Street is closed to automobile traffic, but a cold and windy afternoon left it largely quiet of all traffic.

This barn cat at the Ethel Walker School’s stable really has no time for my shenanigans.

Reflecting on Winter at the Vernal Equinox

2026-Mar-202026-Mar-20 adohertyhLeave a comment

As we reach the vernal equinox at the precise moment this post goes up, I’m taking a moment to reflect on the end of a long, cold winter in Hartford with some of the images I captured of the experience.

Summit Street in Late Winter

2026-Mar-18 adohertyhLeave a comment

Leaves are long gone, buds have yet to quite emerge, and the colorful display from my earlier picture down Summit Street exists only in that photograph.

The Wadsworth and Travelers Tower frame Bushnell Tower, the State Capitol, and Bushnell Park, for a lovely postcard image of Hartford, Connecticut.
