If I stopped every place I see a photo opportunity, I'd never get anywhere.  

Mohegan Sun

Uncasville, CT

Mohegan Sun is one of two large casinos in this part Connecticut.  It is owned and operated by the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority and comprises a hotel of over 1300 rooms and gaming space totaling over 364,000 square feet.  In addition there is a 12,000 seat arena, convention and function space totaling 100,000 square feet and 130,000 square feet of retail space.  The hotel dominates the landscape next to the Thames River and as can be seen above, the exterior is highly reflective.  It appears to me to be a perfect contribution to Weekend Reflections.   Thanks for looking and have a great weekend.

Power Plant Reflection

Gales Ferry, CT

At one time, there really was a ferry here crossing the Thames River.   The ferry was established by John Comstock, Ralph Stoddard Jr, and John Hurlbut in 1740.  Later it was owned by Roger Gale from 1759 to 1764 whose name lives on to this day.  Today the site is the home of the Yale University Crew training camp, whose boathouse was pictured in this blog last week.  This is the view across the the Thames River looking at the village of Uncasville.  I'm sharing this with Weekend Reflections, where you'll find many more wonderful reflections.  Enjoy your weekend and thanks for visiting my blog.
