This was taken along the bike trail that accesses the Merritt/Wilbur Cross Parkway bridge over the Housatonic River between Stratford and Milford, Conn. You're looking east -- Milford is the opposite bank.
This photo was taken looking south on the Connecticut River while aboard the Chester-Hadlyme Ferry (Rt. 148), which has operated since 1769. $3 for cars, $1 for bikes and people on foot.
This seemingly pedestrian rock outcrop (near the Devitt Field parking lot) is actually a rare, visible dividing line between the Avalonian (or Avalon) Terrane -- which was once part of volcanic islands off the coast of Africa) about 650 MYA -- and the more recent Merrimack Terrane from about 450 MYA. The Avalon is on the right, and looks darker. For more information, read Greg McHone's book, "Great Day Trips to Discover the Geology of Connecticut." Today, the Avalon Terrane comprises southeastern Conn. and almost all of R.I. Some believe it's still moving northwestward.
This lovely spot is in the Devil's Hopyard State Park, Connecticut's first state park. You're looking at Chapman Falls, which tumbles down 60 feet of vertical over interesting schist steps, known as the "Scotland Schist" formation.. The 860-acre park was created in 1919 by the then State Park and Forest Commission, now the state DEP.
This is Stratford's World War I memorial on the West Broad Street Green. The artist commissioned for the work was sculptor William Dryden Paddock (1873-1956). One of his more famous works is "The Garden of the Water Goddess" in Akron, Ohio, a striking, life-size nude female fountain with a pair of infants playing at her feet in the stream of water, which was completed in 1916. Paddock was instructed to create a message of peace, not war. The model who posed for Paddock was Kate Steichen, daughter of the famed photographer, Edward Steichen. The bronze statue depicts a woman with a shield on her left arm. A dove is nestled near the inside surface of the shield and her left leg. She used to hold a sword in her right hand, but this was removed by vandals not long after its unveiling in 1931. On close inspection, the hilt of the "missing" sword is still visible, however.

This is a great place to spend a warm, summer afternoon.
