Sun Behind the Chapel
Sunset light shining through the bells of Trinity College’s chapel is an entirely new sight for me.
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.
Spring Light Lasts Longest (on the Field)
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.
Arboretum Campus
An aerial view makes it even less surprising that Trinity College was recently classified as an arboretum. The warm spring evening air between their branches makes for perfect sensory inputs.
Spring Light Highlights the Long Walk
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.
Spring Elm on the Quad
With the right perspective, this old elm can tower over even the top of the chapel on a just-post-storming spring evening.
Northam Sun
Bright spring light graces the rooftops and treetops of Trinity College, even at the end of the day.
A Spring Morning at Trinity College
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.
“No Filter”/Obligatory Eclipse Image
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.
Snow Tree Structure
When only the snow-coated branches of a tree stand out above the roofline of a nearby building, the result is a bright and dramatic view of their structure.
Chapel Repairs in the Snow
Trinity College’s Chapel is encrusted and decorated with two types of brightwork: both snow and scaffolding.
First Hints of Springtime Around Trinity
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.
Laser Table Delivery
As the culmination of efforts that began in July 2023, moving an 800-lbs optical table into a third-story window of Clement Chemistry Building via forklift was remarkably less dramatic than might be expected. Once the window was removed, the rigging company made short work of the move—and were nice enough to let me get some shots of them in action with my drone.
Sunset Light on Clement
Warm golds and deep reds match autumn skies and Trinity’s neogothic architecture.
