This ship was built in 2010 and is registered in Panama.  She's a bulk cargo carrier and was docked in New London for a few days recently.  I always wonder when I see these ships what the brought?

This looks like it might have been a fishing boat at one time.  Perhaps it still is, but it doesn't appear to have all the equipment one sees on a working fishing boat.  I think now it is strictly a pleasure craft.

There are a lot signs like this around this area.  I hope someone has these routes well thought out and I hope I never have a reason to have to follow these routes.  

Healthy New London

New London, 2016

Readers of this blog might have guessed by now that I walk this trail quite a bit.  I'm not sure I'm any healthier because of it, but I do enjoy the scenery, the ferries, and trains.  

Amtrak 661

Normally these trains sneak up on me and I'm woefully out of place an unprepared to take any photos.  I knew this one was coming and saw it off in the distance so I was able to be a little more prepared.  

Seagull

New London, CT  2016

They are not the prettiest of birds, but they're so used to man, that you can get  pretty close, and they won't fly off.  I think he was looking for a handout.

This ferry provides service between New London and Fishers Island, a small island just south of New London, which is actually a part of New York.

This is another sculpture along the Lincoln Financial Sculpture walk.  The sculpture is said to represent Abraham Lincoln's  support for the building of a transcontinental railroad.

Sculpture

East Hartford, CT  2016

I found this interesting sculpture along the Lincoln Financial Sculpture Walk at the Great River Park in East Hartford, CT.   There are a series of sculptures on both sides of the river depicting various events in the life of Abraham Lincoln.  This sculpture is entitled "The Circuit Rider" and is by Peter Busby depicting Lincoln's time as a circuit rider.  The transparency gives the sculpture a ghostly appearance which even is more apparent when photographed.
