The Hartford Connecticut Trust Company

The Gold Building is in the center of the downtown Hartford.  It is the worldwide headquarters of United Technologies, a huge global aerospace company.  At certain times of the day, the sun reflects off the gold glass onto its neighbor, the classic building at 750 Main Street.

I have shown this effect before, but whenever I am roaming the downtown on a day with good light and see the building shimmering in gold, I have to take another picture.

For other reflecting pictures, go to James' website, Weekend Reflections.

Kevin

Kevin is an outgoing guy.  We worked together years ago, before our jobs took us in different directions.  Today Kevin is branch manager and small business development officer of a local bank.  He likes the opportunities this job gives him to be involved in the community.

Anesthesia

Cedar Hill Cemetery in Hartford is the final resting place for many of Hartford's famous citizens.  Among these is Horace Wells, the Hartford dentist who discovered the use of ether for anesthesia. 

The busts at the ends of Wells' tombstone say "I sleep to awaken" and "I awaken to glory."

Busted!

This attractive young woman caught my attention as we approached the crosswalk from opposite directions.  Bright red blouse against the stark white walls of the Crate & Barrel store.  So I took a picture.  I don't know why I am using it in a post today.  I just like it.

I was asked about Crate & Barrel after mentioning it in a recent post.  Crate & Barrel is a national chain of high end stores offering furniture, housewares and accessories, with a modern design emphasis. This store is in Blue Back Square.
