Hartford, Connecticut, and its blend of old and new, bright and sedate makes for an interesting visual experience on a sunny day. Sunlight bouncing off of bronzed glass onto this theatre conjured a dreamy other world. The reflected light lands on different planes or seemed to float. All good.

I especially like the first shot in this list. The lighting gives the image a very nice quality of depth and perspective. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI love the indirect quality of the reflected light. Its kind of like those reflectors that photographers use for portraits.
ReplyDeleteNice contrasts
ReplyDeleteI've got to see that show-the lady with all the answers...lol!
ReplyDeleteWow! A lady with all the answers was in Hartford? I found out too late. :)
ReplyDeleteI love to see old and new architecture mixed. Great view of Hartford.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting place. Nice old and new, I like that
ReplyDeleteI just love the sign "The Lady with all the answers"..
ReplyDeleteDoes she exist?
Great shots Sandy!
I love the vibe of that part of town. Brick buildings make for a homey feel I think.
ReplyDeleteI like the diversity of old and new in the first picture... it feels like the building was plopped in there by a time machine... also, I want those answers.
ReplyDeleteI really like how the light effects...playing with light is such fun. What a place Hartford must be with the array of old and new.
ReplyDeleteWe have never been to Hartford. Maybe we should stop there on our way to Canado this summer.
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the flaming red curtains on the building. I don't know why but I do.
And thanks for stopping by my blog.
That is good light, making for excellent photographs. Despite living in the NY area for 10 years, I never made it to Hartford, so your little tour is nice to see.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots. Fantastic blend of old and new.
ReplyDeleteI like the way how old and new blend so well. Great pics.
ReplyDeleteThe old and new buildings together reminds me of a group of people, young and old...
ReplyDeleteYou make me want to visit just about every place you photograph.
ReplyDeleteSandy: Hartford is such a neat town, thanks for taking us along.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, Sanday! I like the light reflections.
ReplyDeleteLove the contrast of the old and new. Brick buildings always fascinate me. Perfect lighting on your photos.
ReplyDeleteThe old and the new always make shots interesting and cities. The bouncing light has an unusual effect in your interesting world.
ReplyDeleteLike your photos it's beautiful the reflection of light is great.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much character in this old building, its a wonderful example of its hay-day..

I love that blue sky -- sets off the old architecture well!
ReplyDeleteOld and new in perfect harmony. Fab shots

ReplyDeleteLovely light there Sandy! We hope to travel the East Coast a bit later on this summer.
ReplyDeleteAlso loved the post below -- lovely pictures and I especially loved your description of the tidal "perfume"! So accurate -- I believe even someone who hadn't been there would be able to get the sense of it from what you said!
Neat post Sandy but I was sure my wife had all the answers LOL
ReplyDeletethe 1st pic is magnificent!
ReplyDeleteI have driven past Hartford for so many times on my way between Boston and New York. Rarely I stop by. I like the old building in your first two pics too.
