Northam Hall Stands Against the Summer Sun
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.
Bridge Over Overijsselse Vecht
A blue hour expanse in the Netherlands with everything expected of the location: steeples, windmills, bike paths, fields of grasses, and… A beach? Given the sub-15ºC weather, this felt particularly charming but out of place.
Sunset Behind a Schiphol Control Tower
The dramatic slashes of clouds and scattered sunlight behind the control tower of Schiphol Airport make a dramatic cap above the mundane concrete and steel.
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.
Capitol on the Hill
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.

Towers in the Arboretum Campus
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.
Rooftop Yoga
In warmer weather, a yoga class is taught atop this golden building in my neighborhood. I wonder what it’s like to do yoga with a view?
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.
Center Church with Fireworks
The incongruity of a brick church and centuries-old burial ground amidst modern urban architecture perhaps aligns with posting summer pictures in early January. Hopefully both aspects brighten the New Year!
