Early in my life I spent lived 15+ years in Meriden CT.  Besides their library the one thing that I took considerable advantage of, and still do to this day, is Hubbard Park.  It’s a beautiful sprawling park at with Castle Craig looking down upon it from atop the mountain.  […]

What struck me odd about this abandoned bakery was not so much that it was abandoned but rather where it was located.  The picture gives the impression that it’s in the middle of the woods but it sits in a rural residential neighborhood of Southington CT. There are beautiful homes […]

Brooksvale Park Farm, 524 Brooksvale Ave, Hamden, CT 06518 Cheryl and I initially visited these barns/farm to take this picture: The Barn at Brooksvale Park – Journey Thru My Lens (journeysthrumylens.com) .  I returned a couple of weeks later and spent some time walking around the farm taking more images.
