Barber Shop

There's not doubting that this place is a barbershop. It's probably the most colorful barbershop I've seen recently.

Clyde's Cider Mill
Mystic, CT 2017
This is a must see place during the fall if you're ever in south east Connecticut. Clyde's uses an antique, steam powered cider press to make their apple cider. They offer both sweet cider and a collection of "hard" ciders, or apple wines along with cider donuts, pies, breads, kettle corn, apples and other tastes of the autumn season. It is a very busy place on weekends

This business fell on hard times. It was once a pretty popular restaurant in Mystic.

Barley Head Brewery
Mystic, CT 2017
In the last ten years or so there has been an huge increase in the number of craft breweries that have opened in Connecticut. This particular one opened this past July in Mystic and characterizes itself as a true neighborhood brewery. I met the owner, brewer and chief janitor during my recent visit and sampled the brews on tap. Being a "nano" brewery, which produces much less beer than a typical "micro" brewery, you can only buy the beer here, not in bars, restaurants or package stores. He brews in 50 gallon batches, and even uses his own home grown hops in some of his beers.

Groton, CT 2017
This plane can be yours for a little over a million dollars, or so I've been told. You can see the specs below.
I think if you ordered today, you can have it time for Christmas!

Stearman PT-17
Groton, CT 2017
Over 10,000 of these bi-planes were made during the '30's and '40's and used to train US Army Airforce pilots and Navy pilots. After the war, thousands of surplus planes were auctioned to the public. Many were modified to serve as crop dusters and sports planes. They are often seen today at air shows doing aerobatics and wing walker stunts.

Amtrak

I can't help myself. If I see a train and I have my camera with me, I just have to photograph it.

iPhone 8 Plus
New London, CT 2017
It was time to replace my ancient iPhone 4s, so this weekend I got Apple's latest model, the iPhone 8 Plus. I'm still learning about the capabilities of it's 12 megapixel camera, but at least on my first attempts, I would say I'm pleased with the pictures. This is right out of the iPhone, without any adjustments. I don't think I'll be giving up my 12 megapixel Nikon D90 just yet though.

Foggy Return
New London, CT 2017
Timing is everything in photography. If this submarine had arrived about 10 minutes sooner this would've have been a clear photo. In keeping with the stealthy missions of submarines, I think it's only fitting that they sneak back home shrouded in fog.
