Tom Mik<\/a><\/p>\nToday was not the day for 6 year olds and their cameras – hell, if I was smart it wouldn’t have been my day either. \u00a0But I figured it was worth a shot – rainy days down along the Thames River usually also have some fog along with it, especially at this time of year – so if things worked out, the condition\u00a0should add a bit of drama to the photos. \u00a0Thinking about where to shoot was more of the challenge – and I decided to head up to Mill Cove in Ledyard once again. \u00a0I haven’t been there in over a month, so I figured it would be worthwhile to head down there – plus, there’s usually some nice fog hanging out just to the north near Red Top.<\/p>\n
Getting there, it was how I hoped – rainy, dreary, and a little hint of fog hanging in the air. \u00a0Now all I needed was the P&W to show up – which only took a few minutes. \u00a0Once they were on the scene, I got a few shots as they progressed along the cove, and wrapped things up with a few pan shots of some of the rolling stock. \u00a0At that point I was pretty wet – not to mention satisfied with what I shot (whether or not it’s as good as a 6 year old can do remains to be seen), so I decided to call it a morning, drying myself and my cameras off and heading back to the office.<\/p>\n
Oh, yeah, you came here for photos, not to read these pesky words. \u00a0So here you go – I’ll let the pictures do the rest of the talking!<\/p>\n[cpg_album:698]\n
Thanks for looking!
