This was the full width of the drifting shot I captured of this Audi—so large, so fast, so drifty that it’s exploding out of the frame. Though I was originally going to delete the shot, there’s something about the “exit stage right” energy of the unintentional crop that I can’t ignore it.
Students have returned to campus and summer winds to a close; our campus is so green and full of life!
Drifting is an activity best left to professionals, but no professional is perfect—this BMW is doing some earth moving of its own in plain view of a true earthmover.
The deep artificial canyon between the two buildings of 55 Elm is deeply shadowed as late afternoon shades into evening.
Weather is clear and a trip to #GRIDLIFE tomorrow is on! Let’s celebrate with a few more previously unseen shots from last year’s event.
The final decision on whether or not to attend this year’s #GRIDLIFE Circuit Legends in Lime Rock will depend on weather, meaning it’s currently up in the air. I thought I might match that with some shots from last year’s event of cars literally “up in the air.”
Connecticut’s Central Valley is a leafy, green place in the summer; Trinity’s neogothic towers jut from the canopy in conveniently contrasting colors.
With my quadcopter hovering along the diagonal axis of Trinity College’s chapel’s steeple, the mirror symmetry of that structure is easily apparent—and stands in contrast to the shapes of the building beneath it among the leafy green trees.
The facade of Northam Hall has become an iconic symbol of Trinity College, and when surrounded by summer foliage and nearly silhouetted by the summer sun, I can understand why.
The streets outside The Bushnell are a lot quieter and emptier on summer evenings when no show is happening, but the few automobiles present still provide a sense of scale to its dramatic structure.
We’ve now long passed the one-year anniversary of my move to Hartford, Connecticut. The benefit of occupying the same post downtown for all of that time is being present for those singular perfect nights with incredible post-storm skies.
The golden dome of Connecticut’s Capitol looks perfect against a sunset sky. My favorite detail is the concert happening on the lawn of Bushnell Park in the background.
The highest hill in Hartford is the site of the State Capitol… in 2024. But before being relocated, this was once the home of Trinity College.
A weekend of terrifying phone-buzzes presaging possible tornadoes provided two positive outcomes come Sunday evening: (1) no tornadoes (more importantly) and (2) an incredible, dramatic sunset sky over Hartford.
Summer has arrived and layer upon layer of Bushnell Park is lush and currently under enjoyment by Hartford’s residents and guests.
