I had to head to Old Lyme this afternoon to do a little electrical work at my parent’s place. By the time I finished up, the sun was getting low in the sky, so I decided to swing by the Connecticut River drawbridge on my way home to get a couple shots. Unfortunately there were no trains in the picture, but I got a couple nice shots of the open drawbridge with the setting sun.
I got to the CT DEP headquarters just north of Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor, parked the car, grabbed my gear and made my way towards the walkway that heads under the drawbridge, and along the eastern side of the Connecticut River. I walked down the walkway about halfway, where I got a nice view of both the drawbridge, and the sun setting to the west.

Walking back towards the bridge, I noticed a seagull flying around. So like I usually do, I made it part of a couple pictures. First was one of the bird skimming along the water

Then up higher, in front of the sun

Finally one shot including a bit more of the walkway

On my way back to the parking lot, I got one shot on the north side of the bridge.

And that was it for my quickie stop along the shores of the Connecticut River.
Thanks for looking!
