Southport, CT

The photo shown here of Southport, CT, which was taken in February of 2009, was one of those "good timing" pictures. We were driving under a railroad bridge in this beautiful town when we happened to come across this scene from the road. It was in the middle of the afternoon with the sun just starting to drop a little behind the trees, so I pulled over as quickly as possible and took this picture while the lighting was still good. It turned out to be perhaps my favorite photo of our entire trip to Fairfield County, CT, which is a really beautiful area, by the way.
