This lonely cottage by the dunes and brush of a late-autumn Atlantic beach reminds me of a half-remembered setting from The Spy Who Came in from the Cold near the start of the novel, on the Dutch coast. There’s a lonely quiet to the image but the road and house suggest some respite on the horizon.
The great glowing verticality of Bushnell Tower at night reveals the strengths in I.M. Pei’s original design.
A classic Porsche in front of a classic New England clapboard home on Martha’s Vineyard looked so much like something out of a circa-1990’s Ralph Lauren or J.Crew catalog that I just had to rock some color grading to complete the editorial effect. Now where’s the tall man with the chunky sweater?
Down at the end of the long and windswept path to Lighthouse Beach and the Edgartown Harbor Lighthouse, can you spot the little figure of the walker between the bushes?
Tiny details of docks and homes and lighthouses against the grand scope of a late-autumn Martha’s Vineyard coastline make this a image for which I would really encourage you to click through to the full-sized version on Flickr.
A fog of Macbeth/Shakespeare/Weird-Sisters-level strangeness descended on Hartford last night.
A black Nissan raising a huge cloud of white tire dust is already 80% of the way to being in black and white, so I finished the job.
No idea how this standard Amsterdam bicycle came to rest in the middle of a canal bridge, but the combination of transportation modes speaks to the Dutch experience pretty effectively.
A pack of Japanese sports cars going sideways in a haze of tire smoke should best be described as “driftacular”.
Does anything say “international intrigue” like a fancy hotel in a European capital?
Waking pre-dawn to be sure an NSF Major Research Instrumentation grant and a Statistical Mechanics exam are both finished when they need to be turns out to have some upsides—namely, this gigantic panorama of an incredible Hartford dawn. (This one is definitely worth clicking through to Flickr and further clicking to zoom to 100% scale.)
The bright yellow leaves of this female gingko tree almost make it worth the really shocking smell of butyric acid that issues from the decay of all of the fruit it drops.
Incongruously warm summer afternoons are the stuff of college campus perfection, and Trinity College’s Summit dorms don’t let the day down.
Low clouds over the Connecticut River add extra autumn crisp to the day.
In a city of bicycles and public transportation, I suppose I shouldn’t have been surprised to see some old-school mass transport taking place.
