Weekend Reflections: Drunken Windows

Maybe it is just me, but I find it interesting how the seemingly flat glass walls of modern skyscrapers bounce reflections around.

Mozzicato

Mozzicato is an Italian bakery on Franklin Avenue in Hartford.  They bake all sorts of wonderful cookies, cupcakes, cakes, etc.  The retail space is only one room.  It is busy most days and packed on weekends and holidays.

Winter Rose Garden

Elizabeth Park's rose gardens are the oldest municipal rose gardens in the country. 

They are gloriously colorful and fragrant in June and July.  In fact, my first post on this blog in July 2010 was from the rose garden.

But, I visited the rose garden in late December, the day after the blizzard, and they had a certain quiet beauty even then.

A photo of the arches and gazebo in the summer is here.

Barn in Late Afternoon

Isn't the amber light in the late afternoon wonderful?  This photo was taken the day after Christmas, before the blizzard hit.

I also like the simple painting of grapes on the wall.

One Lane Bridge

This is an abandoned one lane bridge across the Farmington River between Simsbury's main street and its quiet neighborhood, Weatogue.  It is now used by pedestrians and biyclists.

This photo was taken the last week of December, just before the blizzard hit after Christmas and altered the landscape for a while.  I think I will post this today and another one tomorrow, before we forget what it is like in early winter before the snow flies.

Bridge in Elizabeth Park

This was taken last week, soon after the blizzard ended.

Photo of the Year 2010

This blog was started in July.  I am still learning. 

Most of the really good photography in 2010 belongs to the other CDP bloggers, not me.

But, here is one that I think I got right.

It was for Weekend Reflections in November.  I liked the composition, the setting, the stillness of the water, the vertical lines, the black-and-white feeling of a gloomy and overcast day, and the few red and blue highlights that sneaked into the picture.

City Daily Photo's Theme Day for January is "Photo of the Year 2010."  We should see some wonderful photography on CDP blogs today!  Click here to view thumbnails for all participants
