From “open for business” to “sleeping on the dock,” Mohonk Mountain House’s boats present lovely repeating patterns.

Bushnell Park Pond Freezing
The newly renovated pond in Bushnell Park had crisp, clear water this fall and I assumed that I’d lose sight of the rocks at the bottom from the build-up of fallen leaves. Instead, it turns out that a frozen surface was the bottom-obscuring victor.
Skating in the Park
Despite years of living across the street from this charming skating rink in Bushnell Park, I’ve somehow never managed to capture good images of the action before this year. With the light of the full moon in the background, Hartford residents queued up for a chance on the ice.
Impossible Chapel View
When showing this picture of Trinity College’s chapel and Long Walk to a fellow alum, his first question was, “Where did you go to take this?” A near-lifetime of seeing the same perspectives from the same high points on campus made a shot like this one a complete surprise—a reaction that I’m always happy to provide.
An Unusual Long Walk Perspective
The impossibility of this particular view of Trinity’s Long Walk keeps my eye returning to the perspective line as the building stretches away in the distance but doesn’t leave the frame.
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.
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.
Long Streaks of Atomic Transition Photons on the Fourth
Happy Fourth of July!
Core Campus on a Summer Night
Summer nights on Trinity College’s campus are quiet but the paths and buildings remain as effulgent as ever. There’s a luminous quality to this aerial view that really captures the sensory experience of exploring the quads by night.
Night Over Northern Connecticut
Rolling northern Connecticut hills hide the bright lights of the distant city just over the horizon, scattered from post-thunderstorm clouds once the sunlight vanishes.
Weird Fog
A fog of Macbeth/Shakespeare/Weird-Sisters-level strangeness descended on Hartford last night.
Museum Reflection
The summer sun in the Netherlands is still scattering through the sky well after 10:00 PM, providing a companion to the reflection of this tin soldier museum on the grassy banks of the Vechte River.
Cloudy Nightfall at Empire Polo Club
A rainbow of colors extend across the earth and into the sky during blue hour above Empire Polo Club.
Mad Scientist Skyline
Arcs of lightning through stormy clouds add a strong sense of the Frankensteinian to this summer image of Hartford’s skyline. The storm that just capped the city in snow will soon provide an opportunity for a different kind of mad scientist image.
Infosys Hub
I’m sure it’s perfectly innocent, but having an octagonal tower with a vague-yet-tech-themed name glowing atop it shouts “sinister cyberpunk corporation.”
