Yesterday I was able to make it out a couple times – once at the usual morning time, and once over the lunch hour.\u00a0 The morning was some typical Providence & Worcester action, and at lunchtime I happened across an eastbound Acela under some interesting skies.<\/p>\n
On my usual morning trip, I headed for Mill Cove – the wind wasn’t blowing that hard, so I figured the water would be calm enough for some sort of reflection.\u00a0 When I got there, the water was pretty calm – only some subtle waves on the surface – enough to just diffuse the reflections.\u00a0 And instead of my usual spots, I went about as far south as I could go – without trespassing on someone’s lawn – getting a little different angle of the causeway.\u00a0 Once NR-2 showed up, I rattled off a few shots as they headed south along the cove.<\/p>\n[cpg_imagefixthumb:10735] [cpg_imagefixthumb:10734] [cpg_imagefixthumb:10733] [cpg_imagefixthumb:10732]\n
And that was about all I had time for in the morning, so I headed back to the office.<\/p>\n
Then came lunchtime.\u00a0 I usually bring a lunch, but yesterday I forgot to bring it, so I headed out to get something from Wendy’s.\u00a0 After I got my meal, I decided to head down to the river and finish eating there.\u00a0 So I set my sights on the parking lot south of the Thames River drawbridge.<\/p>\n
Just as I got there, an eastbound Acela was rolling through New London station across the Thames.\u00a0 Perfect timing.\u00a0 I put the fries down, grabbed the cameras, and got a few shots of the train crossing the Thames in some sunlight, with some dark clouds to the north.<\/p>\n[cpg_imagefixthumb:10731] [cpg_imagefixthumb:10730] [cpg_imagefixthumb:10729]\n
As the train got off of the bridge, I got back in the car and put the camera away, and turned my attention back to the rest of my fries.<\/p>\n
Thanks for looking!
