I live some twenty miles south of Bridgeport Ct. It has the highest population of all the cities in Connecticut, and it is a paradise for urban decay. A short journey up I95 whenever I feel an urge to photograph this sort of thing. While driving around, I spotted the shot tower of the old Remington Arms, and found my way over to it. It has an interesting history, and I am including a couple of links if you want to find out a little about that. When I pulled over to the curb, I had to decide if I even wanted to get out of my vehicle with an expensive camera. I was that impressed by my surroundings. I got over it, and have been back quite a few times thereafter. There are vast neighborhoods where I yearn to venture out and do some street photography, but I am way to wary. So,
#1. Is the shot tower. This one had a better sky than most I have taken.

#3. Over on the good side of town.
#4. In the adjacent town of Stratford, is a small parking lot from which you can follow a path into the estuary of the sound. This is unfortunately also a somewhat scary area, based on a conversation I had with a local. I just liked the switchover amongst the weeds along the path.
#5. Also in Stratford is a large area of no longer used buildings. These really appeal to me for the simple colors and geometry. And of course that they have been abandoned.
#6. From another town to the north, Shelton, I have found many interesting sights including some very extensive graffiti art in the railroad tunnels. These buildings seemed worth stopping for.
#7. All I know as to location on this was somewhere in the Catskills. A friend was driving and he was more than happy to pull over when I saw something of interest. Walked around the back side of this structure along a country road. If anything I processed to enhance the surface textures.
#8. When in Vermont I am on the lookout for barns and such. This from a tiny town of Danby, which has all manner of good such subjects.
#9. The Salton Sea. I love this image. It seems to say it all for me. That is, regarding its demise. I include a link for those of you who are not familiar with it.
