The Drive Home

I was driving home today thinking to myself that its a shame that I can't drive and take pictures at the same time.  I turned off the radio and was watching the different directions the sun was going.  One minute it was blinding me, the next it was on the side of me and then behind me causing the most beautiful reflections.  This is the type of thing that we don't take notice of on a daily basis as we are going from one place to another.  We tend to be too busy to notice everyday beautiful things, that yes, we all take for granted.  I guess today was my day to see how beautiful the sun is.  I saw the sun reflect off foliage, cars, water and finally set.  Take a few minutes one day on your drive home from work or wherever you may be coming or going, turn off your radio, clear your mind and just look around you.  The birds will be louder than you've ever heard them, the sun will be twice as bright and I guarantee you will see or notice something that has always been there but you've never noticed.

Just a thought, have a good night.....

    Beautiful blog you post. You're right everybody should take notice of how beautiful the world is if they just stop and look around. Turn off everything that run your everyday life for just a moment and take in a beautiful sight. It may be a sunset, or a sunrise, or a midnight moon with the stars. People should know that the world still has beauty if they just stop and take a moment to notice. Thank you K.

Rockville, Connecticut: The Hockanum Mills

Image
Hi Everyone, It looks like the warmer weather is finally upon us!  That being said, I’ve been out and about seeing people and things, lol.  Which brings me to the Town of Rockville……have you been there lately?  It’s one of those little towns that I think gets overlooked.  It’s a small section of Vernon and appears a bit run down but you have to look beyond that.  There is a lot of construction going on there presently so its an up and coming town.  Rockville has quite a bit of interesting history to it. The downtown section has e a few older, beautiful structures on the main street but what caught my eye was the Hockanum Mills.  I like where it’s situated.  The mill is located on an uphill bend and when you are standing at the top, the view gives the impression of a once prominent mill overlooking the town.   These are photos of the mill at the top of the hill with its name facing the town: This is the part I really enjoy ….often I start poking around for different an

The Anamet Complex, Waterbury, CT

Hi Everyone! Its been awhile....I've been working on various projects, always learning new things and growing! I visited the abandoned Anamet Complex in Waterbury.  As many of you know, I love to go check out older, abandoned places or buildings.  Waterbury is quite interesting to me because there is a lot of history in the huge city known for its now defunct brass industry.  Many buildings are being demolished and/or redeveloped so I hope to get many photos of the city's history before its lost. The Anamet Complex is located in the south end of Waterbury on South Main Street and runs along the Naugatuck River.  The complex was founded in 1908 and was the home of Anaconda Metal Hose by American Brass.  It became the biggest manufacturer of metal hose in the world, spanning 400,000 square footing along 17 acres on South Main Street, employing hundreds.  The company went bankrupt in 1998 and the complex continues to sit, abandoned.  The land is also contaminated with i

The Pequabuck Tunnel

Image
Hi Everyone! I'm starting the season off with my trip to the Pequabuck Tunnel aka Terryville Tunnel and the Mile Long Tunnel located in Plymouth.  I heard about the tunnel last summer while visiting Horseshoe Falls which isn't too far away.  It took awhile to find this tunnel because it's just one of those things that is right under your nose if you look hard enough.  Every video I watched didn't specify a location.  I didn't video this trip but I did take pictures. The tunnel is still operational and is located just off Tunnel Road in Plymouth.  The tunnel was completed in 1910 and the year is marked at the top of the entrance.   Freight trains running between New Britain and Waterbury still use it.   It's not easy to find, and you may find yourself driving in circles until you do find it.  There is a small clearing on Tunnel Road that will take you to a trail which leads down to it.  There are many stories about the tunnel being haunted.  Would I go down t
