A nearly winter morning marks the end of the semester. Light reflecting from the Connecticut River adds some energy to a monochromatic world and I head to work to submit final grades.
Pre-Sunrise Hartford

Seated Beneath Blossoms
Spring sunset colors match well with blossoms by Bushnell Parks’ pond.
Thanksgiving in Hartford, 2025
Happy Thanksgiving from Decaseconds and from lovely Bushnell Park.
Hartford Towers Above the Trees
Golden light, golden buildings, green colors in the park. Flying a drone can unveil a new perspective from an altitude that wouldn’t be accessible otherwise, but it can also just give a boat’s-eye view with a lot less paddling.
Bushnell Park Returns
After a summer spent under construction to fully overhaul the pond, work is finally complete and our city park looks more beautiful than ever. In the distance, the State Capitol is lit by the last of the warm early-autumn sunshine.
Brothers’ Cars
Two brothers, two coupes, together at sunset.
Hotel Floating in the Sky
Glaciers carved deep between stones to create the lake on which Mohonk Mountain House appears to float, but I feel like those glaciers left behind a little bit of their cold blue thermodynamic impact in the colors (and temperature) of the water.
Great Falls Reservoir
Great Falls with additional great falls grafted on via dam.
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.
Sunset Light on Bushnell Tower
A great sunset over Bushnell Park is well-matched by reflections from the windows of Bushnell Tower.
Return Flight, Return Light
Somewhere high above Texas (I’m sure a local could recognize the town from the shape of the river), the sun went down and the lights of the villages turned on.
Even the Parking Garages Are Utopian in Belgium
I commented previously that the Benelux countries look like the cinematic vision of utopia, but I was not perhaps ready for that to extend to structures like parking garages. When the option to be beautiful and interesting exists, the alternative seems a bit insulting.
Moco Puddle
A muddy but vibrantly colored cafe space outside of the Moco Museum in Amsteram looks a bit like a matte painting for some Miyazaki-esque anime adventure.
