As always, you can click within the picture area to see a larger version. It's still small, about 1/6 the linear pixel count of the original capture, but big enough to get a sense of the way the delicate tendrils of the nasty invasive plant relate to the soft outlines of the thickly painted brickwork.

More Lions

Guarding the front porch. Something about their demeanor is aloof: not exactly welcoming, but certainly not threatening.

Two Underpasses

Torrington, Connecticut

Route 8 is a strange part of the US highway system. It runs north/south as a superhighway starting at Bridgeport, CT, on Long Island Sound, and continues that way to just south of the small city of Winsted. Then it turns into country two-lane, crosses the state line into Massachusetts, doglegs through the hills and towns, crosses the border into Vermont and then just sort of ends a few miles east of Bennington. The MA section winds along a river valley that twists enough to cause speed limits to drop to 35 mph. The superslab section also follows a river, the Naugatuck, and there are some interesting bridges as the limited-access road cuts a straight line across the switchbacks of the river's course.

Forthright Fireplug

Ansonia, Connecticut

There's something about fire hydrants, I keep being drawn to them. This is one real stand-up guy here, downright jaunty in demeanor.

Broken gold? Oh well. Don't know how much they want for the severed heads.
