An inside glimpse of Yale University
[wzslider autoplay=”true” interval=”6000″ height=”750″ lightbox=”true”]Cheryl and I attended a “photography meet up” held by Milford Photo, mid April, at the Yale University Campus. It was a brief hour and a half guided tour which took us through some of the interior parts of the campus that we would otherwise not have access to. After another grueling Connecticut winter we were fortunate to have a gorgeous spring day. The sun was too harsh for optimal photography, (casting unwanted shadows), none the less we had a blast and certainly made the best of the conditions. We had a small group of about (30) of us. The nice part was we were not constricted…

For those that have read previous posts Cheryl is completely burnt out on photography and museums thanks to my having taken her…

It was early April, chilly, windy and deserted. I had the whole park to myself. (nice) When I parked the car and walked to the waters edge (about 1/4 mile north of the lighthouse), I was taken aback by the natural beauty I saw during low tide. All this beautiful rock was exposed and you could see the lighthouse, as well, in the background. An added perk was the presence of an old pier…
