The Whaling City

It's hard to see the Whaling City -- or any city -- when one is within its boundaries.

Sure, one can go out on a boat, on the River, take a cruise out to Ledgie Light, and sail back to port and marvel at one's fair city while doing so . . .

That does make for a pretty great view.

But one can actually just drive on over to Fort Trumbull and get a pretty great view of our fair city -- without crossing any bridges or sailing on any oceanography boats -- as well.

Winter is a dastardly time -- "a mistake" says our friend Chuck -- but it does make for spectacular photo ops . . .

Clouds are fantastic in the winter . . .

. . . and the views of the sky and the bridge . . .

. . . and the industry, and ports, and steeples, and trains . . .

. . . well, it all comes together perfectly. It's New London.
It's the Whaling City.

Steeples! I miss those. I mean, three are *some* here, but not like there are back east.

And, yeah, those winter clouds *are* quite spectacular.

Way to make the most of the stupid, long, cold dasterdly mistake of winter, E.
