Face and Owl

Madison, CT  2017


I would think these two sculptures were done by the same artist.  Similar forms and materials were used.

Blue Sculpture

Madison, CT  2017

The sculpture walk in Madison had some very interesting pieces, but I could fine no names or artists for the individual sculptures.  Some were obviously done by the same artist, with the same materials. This one was rather unique, however.

Key Bank Courtyard

Madison, CT  2017

I recently did some exploring through the shoreline communities in Connecticut and spent a few hours enjoying the downtown/business area of Madison, CT.  The main street in Madison is US Route 1, also known as Boston Post Road.  Tucked between the businesses there is this courtyard which features a number of interesting sculptures, although none had any attributions from what I could see.  I'll be featuring some of the more interesting sculptures this week.

Hovercraft


New London, CT  2017

Apparently there is a new way to travel to Fishers Island or  Long Island from  New London.  These hovercraft can be chartered for your trip.  The don't even need a pier to dock, and take you right up to any sandy beach.  They are a bit pricey though.  A 20 minute, one-way trip to Fishers Island will cost you $200, while a trip to Sag Harbor on Long Island will set you back $700.  For comparison, taking a car with driver and a passenger on the Susan Anne, pictured in yesterday's post, to Orient Point, NY costs a mere $70.75.

Susan Anne

New London, CT  2017

No photo walk around New London would be complete without at least one photo of a ferry.  I can't help myself.

Future Home

New London, CT  2017

New London is the home of the Coast Guard Academy, just up the road from the site of their new museum.  It doesn't look like much now, but according the museum's website, President Trump's budget included $5 million for construction, so maybe construction will start sometime soon.
