A Bridge Too Far (2016)
Santa’s Land — Putney, Vermont
After descending down a conifer lined path, you come to Santa’s Sweetheart Bridge; with the main attraction of the park lying just a short walk through this candy-colored covered structure. I suppose in a more innocent time this isolated and dark spot was meant for lovers to share a quick kiss before entering, but Santa and passion are quite antithetical to me…

One Down, Two to Go (2014)
Farm at Southbury Training School — Southbury, Connecticut
One barn lies in ruins flanked on either side by structures which are not going to remain standing much longer. This ends our visit to the farm at Southbury Training School. Tomorrow we return to a place that I thought I might never revisit…Never say never.

Along the Road (2014)
Seaside Regional Center — Waterford, Connecticut
Time to move on to another location, but don’t worry, I have plenty of Seaside images in my picture vault for another visit. Whatever the plans are for making this location into a State park, I doubt that what remains will be able to keep the charm and wonder of the site if they choose to raze these structures.

Watch Us Play (2014)
Catskill Game Farm — Catskill, New York
A now stagnant pond that once was a playground for some type of attraction reflects the honest, folk-art like playground setting for the animals. This spot, more than any other at this location, typifies the innocence of this place for me.

The 16th Hole (2014)
Catskill Game Farm — Catskill, New York
The miniature golf course was awash in green – from the faux-grass putting carpet to the overgrown pathways to the filtered sunlight through the trees above – the area was very green. The 2006 price list indicated it was $2.50 per person to play.

Got Green? (2014)
Catskill Game Farm — Catskill, New York
As my visit to the Catskill Game Farm was at the height of the summer, everything was quite saturated with green and the bright yellow of the sun only added to the green hue. This image is the clubhouse entrance to the miniature golf course where the rules say “Play in groups of 4 or less, Maximum 5 strokes per hole, Ball may be moved 4″ from edge and Do not swing club above the knee…”

All Sizes (2014)
Catskill Game Farm — Catskill, New York
Almost every pavilion had signs up for Kodak film and nothing says end of an era like film sales. I wonder what size film they ended up getting stuck with…110, Disc, 126?
Posted with a smile to my buddy Lignum Draco who knows film…

Am I Blue? (2014)
Catskill Game Farm — Catskill, New York
A bright blue kiosk sits along side the entry path at the former game farm. From an old map of the site this may have been a place to purchase film and photographs. Most of the outbuildings were yellow and green – this one stood out with its bright color.

Greenhouse Interior Infrared (2014)
Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research — Yonkers, New York
Inside one of the upper greenhouses – the plants want back in. With a nod and smile to my favorite viticulturist-photographer Lisa (http://lisakimmorley.com)
