I’ve long been interested in visualizing gradients between different levels of density in housing and construction; here in Hartford, Bushnell Tower is the sort of final edge point between the tall structures of downtown and the medium-rise buildings in the rest of the city. Bushnell Park in the foreground acts as a counterpoint to both.
Summer concerts in Bushnell Park have begun and the lawn beneath the Capitol looks idyllic.
Another June brings another set of reunions to Trinity’s campus, but the experience is notably different now that I’m a faculty member who walks across this quad every weekday on my way to the office.
Golden summer light lands perfectly on Trinity’s chapel with the Hartford skyline in the distance.
Can you spot the bridge between these two buildings at 55 Elm in Hartford? I’m fascinated by the deep inter-build canyon and the engineering solution it necessitates. The topology of the site is fascinating.
Trinity College’s Long Walk lives up to its name.
Sunset light shining through the bells of Trinity College’s chapel is an entirely new sight for me.
This central section of Trinity College’s campus was announced as a new addition to the National Register of Historic Places on the anniversary of the College’s founding 201 years ago.
Delicate, not-fully-chlorophyll’ed spring foliage may be bright on its own, but being the only objects still tall enough to catch the sunlight once Trinity’s Long Walk gets in the way really makes the campus’s trees stand out all the more.
Though a city might not seem like the most obvious place to celebrate Earth Day, I’ve honestly been astonished since my move to Hartford just how many big old trees shelter the city. Between the greenery and the public transportation, this place gives me some optimism.
Hartford’s Frog Hollow neighborhood is home to Broad Street, seen at the left side of this image. Just beyond its bounds is downtown Hartford. Until flying my drone, I had never seen the two in contrast like this. They make quite a pair.
Perfect, breezy, warm, and effulgent spring days have sprawled across Trinity’s campus, rather like students on the quad. Grading papers in my office can at least be softened by an open window and the resulting smell of flowers.
And of course, I had to take a picture of the eclipse. I stepped out from lab with my camera but didn’t have a filter. Instead, I took narrowed down the aperture and aimed to get some rainbow effects that might spice up the image.
Trinity College’s Chapel is encrusted and decorated with two types of brightwork: both snow and scaffolding.
Bright sunshine scatters from treetops and roof peaks in Hartford. Buds begin to swell on branches around Trinity’s campus. When the weather is warm, it’s easy to feel that spring is just around the corner.
