The Hartford Times building, above, is being renovated for future use as an annex to the Wadsworth Atheneum. At the moment, it's a striking ruin decorated with allegorical scenes that suggest some lofty purpose the media.

The children's playscape in Bushnell Park is as lovely as it is whimsical. Of course, the turtles in the little water park area caught my fancy. This is one of the few that time and the elements have not yet decapitated. The oversized reading material behind him form the benches of the square picnic tables that dot the playscape.

What's a big city without an oversized elk wearing that deer-in-the-headlights look as it surveys the urban landscape? I'll never know, because here's the big dude in all his glory.

That's a new take on a gargoyle!
ReplyDeletei would prefer animals over gargoyles any time.
ReplyDeleteJust think what our buildings would look like today if the favorite food of our ancestors had been the ground hog or turkey!

Gorgeous shots. I love the tile (?) piece and admit that the moose/elk is fascinating to me as well. I know not why.
ReplyDeleteYou always note such interesting things in your area. I love the turtle. It must be because I am a big kid.
