New Haven: An Oil Tanker

Tanker leaving New Haven Harbor in November

After Toni's moving funeral, I returned to Anna's house before Anna and Aaron returned and took Daisy for a walk. The day was bright and clear after an early snowfall the night before. Daisy and I needed to get outside and see what the birds and ocean were doing. I was delighted to see this oil tanker leaving the harbor. I'd never seen such a large ship there before. There is an oil storage area at the top of the harbor that I seldom photograph, even though it is picturesque in a weird sort of way. Daisy and I continued to walk the shoreline as the tanker left the harbor. We then walked home and cleaned up the house a bit.

I never was able to get the name of the ship.

I wish that I had met the people on the ship and knew where the tanker was going.

New Haven: Lighthouse Point

Lighthouse Point, New Haven, CT -1.jpg

When you walk to the corner from Anna's house in City Point, New Haven, you get to New Haven Harbor. Looking across the harbor, you see Lighthouse Point. There is a spit of land on the left of the point that goes into the harbor . . .

. . . and there is another lighthouse! I have been to Lighthouse Point, but not up into the lighthouse. And I've never been out to this other lighthouse. Maybe someday. . .
