Arcy at Chango Rosso

The artist Arcy painted big graffiti-style murals throughout the new restaurant, Chango Rosso.

They give it a vibrant and edgy feeling that complements the Latin menu.

I particularly like the octopus at the far end of one room.

Arcy paints around the world.  Here is an interview along with an extensive sample of his work.

Heublein Tower

A ridge runs between West Hartford and Bloomfield on the east side and Avon and Simsbury on the west side.  Talcott Mountain State Park is at the top.

The liquor entrepreneur Gilbert Heublein built a tower at the peak.  It opened in 1914.

There is a nice, fairly short hike to get to Heublein Tower.  From the tower, there are 180 degree views over the Farmington River valley to the west.

Town Hall

A painted cow from a past Cow Parade sits in a grassy plot in 

the parking lot at West Hartford Town Hall.

Sergeant Julie

Kids in midway rides are fun to watch.  And photograph.

The July 1 theme for City Daily Photo bloggers is "motion."

Enfield, Leigh Hall

Enfield, Leigh Hall

Leigh Hall is located along Liverpool Road, in the western suburb of Enfield. It was built in 1928 as the Methodist Theological College, with the name in commemoration of the Rev. Samuel Leigh , the first Wesleyan Missionary to the colonies. In 1974, it became the United Theological College following a merger between Leigh College (Methodist), Camden College (Congregational) and St Andrews College (Presbyterian). It is now occupied by the Australian International Academy, an Islamic private school.
