Hartford is one of my favorite places. The light in the canyons of glass towers casts a magical glow over everything. Despite all the new buildings, though, the old ones continue their story of the city's youthful, powerful exuberance of the 19th century. When I walk there, I feel I get a sense of what a skyscraper was like as a new idea. It's fun.
Gorgeous blue skies, marvelous buildings, terrific captures as always, Sandy! I love the idea of buildings watching us as we look at them. I too wonder how we look to them?? Surely not as magnificent as they are in your photos! Have a beautiful day!
Sandy, Lovely shots--such a magnificent old building in the second shot. Have a great weekend--what happened to Mon, Tues, and Wed--here and gone!!!! Mickie :)
Love the shell turtles, so very ctreative. The photos are great and although I was in Hartford once, it was so long ago, I remember very little. I was ill most of the time. Wanted to thank you for visiting my site,
That blue does indeed make for a beautiful background. Wish we had some blue in our skies. Even the past two days when it DIDN'T rain, we had cloud cover.
I love the combination of the historical building and the modern skyscrapers in your images.;) Lovely new header picture as well.;) Have a happy Friday dear Sandy, xoxo

And perhaps you give an insight to what the skyscrapers are thinking? Do they watch you as you look at them?

Nice, it reminds me a little bit of Tulsa, older high rises amongst new highly reflective buildings makes for an interesting mix.
ReplyDeleteinteresting contrast, the old and the new...
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. I love your new header and I love the turtles.
ReplyDeleteI never went to Hartford, though I lived relatively closs in N.Y. It looks like an interesting city.
What a contrast between the house and the skyscraper in that first shot1 Love the blue too...
ReplyDeleteThese are really pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove that second shot! Wow!
ReplyDeleteGreat perspective.. both the photo angle and placing yourself back in time to imagine how skyscrapers first came about.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like the old sun life building in Montreal. And you are right the old buildings are much better than the new ones.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful a sight. Even though a huge building, it looks friendly.
ReplyDeletePlease have a good Friday you all.
