Calf Pastures Beach, Norwalk, CT

One of my numerous drives to the beach and walks along the boardwalk. My buddies and I used to take time out to unwind here.

Dusk is such a beautiful time of the day by the beach. A view of the Norwalk Sailing School (right). I remember that I walked out to the beach at low tide and in an instant framed this shot. An old couple walking by commented - "Now, thats a nice shot!!!"


Denny & I decided to get some hot dogs and sip coffee along the beach one evening in September '05.

Heading back to the docks at sunset, was this boat.... speeding away on a sea of gold..... (left)

I often visited Pier A. Thats where Mike had his boat. Atleast thats what he called his million dollar yacht. Thats Pier A for you on a beautiful summer evening..... (below)


There was this Sunday evening in May '06, I decided to head out to Calf Pastures.

I went to Pier A and there were these boats docked and looking into the sunset (below).

All I could hear at this time was the sound of waves splashing against boat hulls, sailboat rigging fluttering in the wind against the mast and the roosting of seagulls.

Connecticut has historically been a large sea faring community. There are numerous lighthouses in this area. Peck's Ledge Lighthouse (below) overlooks Calf Pastures Beach. This lighthouse is active as a U.S. Coast Guard aid to navigation.

I remember looking it up on the GPS on the Renegade. Thats all I had to figure out how to get home from the middle of the Long Island Sound. Thats all I needed :). Not that I wanted to get the boat back home!! I loved it out there in the Ocean!!!

This lighthouse (right) stands 54 feet high and is not open to the public. I've tried to click this lighthouse on a full moon night on countless occasions, but damn the Connecticut weather!!!


One of the most amusing photos I got of this lighthouse is with the geese (left). Thats the view you get when you are sitting in a low hanging car, my Mustang!!!

I took this shot one evening in the Fall (below). Fall in the New England area is something you've got to see. To say its beautiful is to say that the Atlantic Ocean is damp...

I saw these two old ladies sitting on a bench by the beach (right). A carpet of maple leaves on grass gave way to the sand on the beach that ended up in the ocean. What you can't see here is the icy wind that was blowing inland, but that didn't seem to bother anyone. Not even me, a resident of a tropical country, :).

Denny & I went out one Sunday evening in October to the beach to chill out. "Chill out" basically meant take the camera and see what we get. I love this shot (left). I thinks its nice....

The same Sunday evening got us a few more nice shots. Maple Leaves!! (below). Thats what i clicked..... All the Fall colors!!!
That weekend was spent capturing the colors of the season in the Fairfield County area in Connecticut. This led Denny and me to the beach that evening. I was putting my camera away. When I bent down to pick up the camera bag, this is what I saw.... (right). Another example of nature's beauty....

This was one helluva night!!! (below) Martha, Sue, Marlene, Rich and I were out drinking at South Norwalk, better known as SoNo.
Wild ideas usually follow drinking late into the night. This stormy night, Martha and I thought it was a good after party idea to head to the Renegade at Pier A and click some photographs. Thats not a good idea in this area as storms are accompanied by lightning that can actually hit you and the probability of such a thing happening increases near the beach. At the time of this shot (left), the storm was only minutes away from breaking. Good sense prevailed and we called it quits for the night and headed home.

As I said earlier, that I have driven to this beach on numerous occaisons. This can't be complete without my ride.... That Fiery Red Mustang!!!! (right). You can drive a BMW, a Porsche or whatever, but driving this baby is an adrenalin rush. The Mustang isn't about owning a car, but its about being part of some clan of thrill seekers who love the classics.... and thats the adrenalin rush!
