Rocky Shore

Niantic, CT  2017

The snow is from last Wednesday's blizzard, which left us with about 8-10" of snow.  More snow is on the way.

Looking over Niantic bay on a very overcast morning, there wasn't much color to be found.

Vineyard

North Stonington, CT  2017

The weather this week has been crazy here in Connecticut.  This photo was taken last Sunday on what was a very pleasant winter day with very moderate temperatures.  Yesterday the temps were in the mid 50's ℉.  Today we had a major blizzard that dumped any where from 8 to 17 inches of snow throughout the state.  Tomorrow it will be cold with some more snow in the forecast.  Thus is winter in New England.

1988

New London, CT  2017

I know it has almost been 30 years since 1988, but the bricks and mortar here seem to look a lot older.

Make Shift Drive-In

Westerly, RI  2017

Since I first discovered digital photography and began reading and following some of the many photo blogs dedicated to digital photography, I've been following the blog and work of Connecticut photographer Carl Weese.  Carl has spent a number of years traveling throughout the US documenting the remaining drive-in movie theaters and those that have been abandoned.  You can read about the project and view his work here.  I passed this scene recently and immediately thought of Carl's project.   It is obviously a make-shift drive-in theater, probably only open in the summer and  as such didn't make the cut for Carl's work.  The scene was very reminiscent of  a number of Carl's photos, which often featured the large screen as a key feature.  This is my humble attempt to capture some of the essence seen in Carl's work.

Not an Exit

Westerly, RI  2017

With no crowds entering the beach,  I don't think anyone would mind if one were to sneak out this entrance.

Misquamicut State Beach II

Westerly, RI  2017

The beaches in winter time can be lonely places.  Although sunny, there was a pretty stiff breeze blowing making the temperatures feel much colder than the actual mid 40℉.
