Towers’ Spring Reflections
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
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
Flowers emerging around Trinity College’s chapel tempted me into a multi-photo study of the contrast between spring pastels and epic limestone.
Early Morning in Hartford
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
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
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
Hartford’s Pratt Street is closed to automobile traffic, but a cold and windy afternoon left it largely quiet of all traffic.
Barn Cat Nemesis
This barn cat at the Ethel Walker School’s stable really has no time for my shenanigans.
Reflecting on Winter at the Vernal Equinox
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
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.
Wadsworth and Travelers
The Wadsworth and Travelers Tower frame Bushnell Tower, the State Capitol, and Bushnell Park, for a lovely postcard image of Hartford, Connecticut.
