While I have frequented Silver Sands for sunrise and sunset, today was a stroll. A clear blue sky allowed the sun to glow through the wheat grass and reflect against the boardwalk. Birds directed me to the lone famous tree to share the sun which cast the shadows in the Sound. Today I spoke withContinue reading “CT: New Haven County- Silver Sands (Winter Walk)”

CT: Fairfield County- Westport- Compo Beach (Winter Sunset)
A warm clear night in March 2021, I drove to Compo Beach while I still can (in season it’s for residents only). This time I sought a new perspective for the setting sun. One sunset, four perspectives. I parked and walked on the perimeter of the grounds. I saw a patch of wheat grass andContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County- Westport- Compo Beach (Winter Sunset)”
CT: New Haven County- Milford- Silver Sands (Winter Sunset)
Chasing sunsets requires motivation after a long work day. A few minutes after the end of a productive meeting with a good team and a 50 degree day I hopped in the car with no destination. I have learned to read the sky to help decide where to go. Based on the cloud cover IContinue reading “CT: New Haven County- Milford- Silver Sands (Winter Sunset)”
CT: New London County-Waterford- Harkness Memorial (Winter)
Harkness Memorial State Park has panoramic views of Long Island Sound. I discovered this park in the late summer but could see how it would be awesome to take pictures here any time of year. Spring and summer are ideal for photo ops but winter offers more of a challenge to find and can thereforeContinue reading “CT: New London County-Waterford- Harkness Memorial (Winter)”
CT: New London County-Groton- Bluff Point State Park (Winter)
It was a clear day the day before another snow storm so I decided to drive out where I don’t often go. Out to New London County along the shore. I have hiked, biked and kayaked at Bluff Point during the warmer months but this is my first season seeking winter hikes. First, I takeContinue reading “CT: New London County-Groton- Bluff Point State Park (Winter)”
CT: Fairfield County- Norwalk- Calf Pasture Beach (Winter Sunset)
It can be pretty darn magical to take a stroll around Calf Pasture beach as the sun sets and the colorful time following. Some people, however, don’t believe in magic. Recognize I am not a photographer but I can share approaches I have used to capture the more colorful or unusual shots. I have mentionedContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County- Norwalk- Calf Pasture Beach (Winter Sunset)”
CT: Fairfield County: Stratford- Long Beach (off-Season Sunset)
Favorite winter activities are chasing icicles and “forbidden” sunsets. Capturing sunsets during the off season at locations that are otherwise for residents only. This evening brought me to Long Beach in Stratford. It was 25 degrees today but the windchill was around 15! But I had not seen a recent sunset so darn it ifContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County: Stratford- Long Beach (off-Season Sunset)”
CT: New Haven County- Madison-Hammonassett State Park (Winter Sunset)
Chasing winter sunsets is not something my younger self anticipated doing. I am not a fan of the cold. But with the pandemic, I have become drawn to finding all Connecticut has to offer. Hammonassett State Park had been on my sunset seeking list and tonight’s sunset offered me such fun! These were taken onContinue reading “CT: New Haven County- Madison-Hammonassett State Park (Winter Sunset)”
CT: Fairfield County-Old Greenwich, Tod’s Point (off-season)
Another great option off season is Tod’s Point in Old Greenwich. In season it is primarily a resident only location (non-residents can enter for a fee) but off-season the opportunity to enjoy Tod’s Point unique perspective is provided to all. There is a lovely 2.25 mile loop paved walk around the point. The views ofContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County-Old Greenwich, Tod’s Point (off-season)”

Fortunately Madison and specifically the Madison Beach hotel offers a setting to achieve just that! I’d rideContinue reading “CT: New Haven County-Madison Beach Hotel”
