Theme Day: Under Construction

The City of Hartford is building a new jail and police center in downtown Hartford, on a site north of the interstate highway that bisects the city.

On the first day of the month, City Daily Photo bloggers show pictures that illustrate the monthly theme.  For June, the theme is "Under Construction."  Click here to view thumbnails for all participants

  2. Good photo, Jack. And now you'll have someplace to put up people who come to visit you from Florida!

  3. Great capture! I imagine to work in construction is very harsh, not easy at all!
    Hugs and a nice weekend ( we are going out for some days)
    See you next week,

  4. Jacob's idea isn't too bad! Would this be our accommodations if bloggers visited you? The guys yellow shirt next to all the blue scaffolding really stands out.

    My link to the portal for theme day photos does not work, hope you visit me anyway. That darn computer-voodoo is at work again!

  8. I love that pop of yellow in the picture! We badly need a new jail here too, but it's been under debate for years-- no one wants a jail in their backyard.

  15. Will the new jail hold 535 inmates?
    If so, we've just found a new home for Congress!

    «Louis» is for term limits! Limit them to two terms!
    One in office, one in jail!

  16. Nice of that fellow to peek out the window - good one!
    Re your comments of other spaces - next year I plan to leave the day open to explore in particular the private spaces like this office - places you don't get to a see.

  19. Jacob's comment made me laugh. Good picture for the day, especially with that guy leaning out. I admire construction workers very much, anyone with a specific skill like that. It would be nice to drive by a building and know you helped bring it to existence.

  21. That looks like a large construction site -- lots of workers must be happy. Sarasota just built a new police headquarters which opened last summer. (In case you were wondering...)
