From a past carrying aircraft to the flight deck of the USS Midway, this carrier elevator is now a lunch spot.
Mechelen Boat
The older bits of Belgium seem a little offended by the polished European modernity of the rest of Mechelen.
Landscape Chunks, Textures, and Variations
The riotous multilayered landscapes of artists like Raoul Dufy and Maurice de Vlaminck always fascinated me: how could so many different textures of farmland and hillside really coexist? Then I flew over Midway, Kentucky to see an array of fields that created exactly the same layer-upon-layer multitextured expanse.
Really Good Parking Garage
Wane sunlight paints a lovely set of parallel and intersecting lines from the facade of this really photogenic parking garage in Mechelen, Belgium.
Interstate Crosses South Elkhorn Creek
Morning light shines over Interstate 64 crossing South Elkhorn Creek in Midway, Kentucky.
Belgium Bicycling
If I’m ever feeling too warm, I look back to Belgians bicycling in the rainy winter and feel the chill set in immediately.
A Porsche at the Long Walk
Quiet summer evenings along Trinity College’s Long Walk, so calm and dignified and neogothic, are best complemented by the shiny silver paint of a vintage Porsche 911.
Trinity College Skyline
“Skyline” might be applied more frequently to grand cityscapes, but the sight of Northam Hall and the Chapel standing out amount the Connecticut hillsides is as nostalgic a view as Manhattan to me.
Race-Prepped Porsche
The little details—the hood latches, the roll cage, the vents through the plexi windows—are what made this particular vehicle stand out in the paddock. The red paint doesn’t hurt, either.
Vertical Mechelen
Mechelen, Belgium welcomed the New Year with rain and fog and the strange combination of ancient and modern architecture that characterizes so much of Belgium.
And also a forest of scary trees.
Sunset Light on Bushnell Tower
A great sunset over Bushnell Park is well-matched by reflections from the windows of Bushnell Tower.
Miata Parade
NA Miatas returning to the paddock after lapping Lime Rock Park make for quite a 1990s throwback parade.
Raether Library
Renovations in the early 2000s greatly enlarged (and renamed) Trinity College’s library; this monolithic-yet-warm form feels welcoming amidst the Hartford landscape.
Big Man, Small Miata
This large man faces the large challenge of fitting a small Miata into a small trailer and extricating himself when the task is done. I do not envy him.
The Comparison Test Cover Shot
When my mom, brother, and I assembled our sports cars for a track day at Lime Rock Park, I knew it was a rare opportunity to create an array of vehicles like those that graced the covers of Car and Driver or Popular Mechanics when a major comparison test was the focus of the issue.
