Catching up, volume 2 (of 90 or so…not really, only 4 more after this). This’ll be a quickie, though. The cruise ship, Explorer of the Seas, made another port of call in New London back on August 1st. I caught it tying up to the State Pier that morning, along […]

Yeah, you guessed it, I’m behind again. Time for a flurry of updates over the next day or so to catch up. Here’s installment #1 on that batch – from July 31st. That was a day that Nick Palazini, David Telesha and Jon (I can’t for the life of me […]
One of the discussion groups I’m on has been talking about night photography lately. That discussion prompted me to go through my stuff and pick out some of what I thought were my better images taken between dusk and dawn – both using artificial (flash or flashlight) and natural (ambient) […]

OK, behind again in the posts. Got a few to catch up on – so here’s the first, which is from July 24th when I caught New England Central train NERWPA in Willimantic doing some switching in the yard.

It was a beautiful day weather wise, and that coupled with the great scenery along the New England Central Railroad’s Palmer Subdivision between Willimantic and New London, Connecticut and a bunch of really truly nice […]
I finally got through all 1500+ images I took at the Lebanon Fair this past weekend. Yep, that’s not a typo – I took over one thousand five hundred photos over 3 days of the fair! The weather was beautiful on Saturday & Sunday, and Friday was a little rainy, […]
Well, today we were getting the remnants of some tropical depression, so it was quite rainy all day long. I skipped my normal morning walk in favor of a lunchtime jaunt to Old Saybrook to do some walking with a few flights of stairs thrown into the mix. Plus, looking […]
Well, my previous post on the stinky twins of Willimantic was in error. Aparently the New England Central moved the two cars from their location by Bridge Street down towards Willi Waste on Memorial Day weekend. They still exist…
Finally got around to processing the photos I took at the Lebanon Memorial Day parade on May 26, 2007. Everything from military and civilian fire engines, to school bands, to the Patriot Guard Riders, to Boy Scouts and even some goats – and of course plenty of red, white & […]
