Noank, Stonington & Mystic

This week I had business in Groton CT and I took some extra time to see some of the local nautical attractions. The point at Stonington was beautiful. Some of the boats and masted ships in Noank and Mystic made for some great photographs as the sun was setting.

The irresistible pull of the water

The irresistible pull of the water...yes you might be familiar with this phenomenon. But I will admit not everyone has it.

I travel all over the world but there is one absolute in my personal experience. Being close to the ocean, any ocean, invokes an unavoidable change in my mental being and a powerful need to continue to remain on the water. Doesn't matter what the weather is or the temperature of the air...the pull is so strong it invokes emotions and nostalgia I find very surprising. Perhaps it's old age and I'm just getting emotionally soft. Perhaps it's an appreciation of the earth. I don't really know.

This month I find myself in Mystic Seaport on business. As usual I brought the camera and snapped many good shots...to be posted later once business is done this week. I hope you'll check back to see the eye candy.
