Cove Beach, Stamford, CT

This was a Saturday morning in January '06. I woke up to a blizzard, the worst of the season that year. I got this weird urge to head out to the beach. I don't know why that thought came to my head, but it did. I didn't even stop myself to think it over. I just followed my instincts cause I felt that there was something out there for me to click.

The first sight I see at the beach is this row of trees (above). I knew right there that it was a great idea to be here and this was going to get better. I walked on only to discover that there were other crazy people like me at the beach (left). There was this couple who were walking their dog in that blizzard!! Can you beat that? But then, I can see myself doing that as well.. :). So, its ok...

Thats a perfectly timed shot (right).

An interesting thing about my stay in Stamford was that I never went to this beach in the summer eventhough its supposed to be a great place to hang out!!

Flags have always attracted me. I believe the flag of any country is a symbol of its pride. I like this shot (left). I feel that the colors of the log cabin, the flag, the trees in the backdrop and the snow blend beautifully.

I stood there staring at the Long Island Sound (right). I wondered how cold that water was, but I definitely didn't want to find out...

The thought that runs through my head when I look at this shot is (below) - "Each person has a way of dealing with the rough moments in life".

The tree on the left, sheds its leaves to conserve moisture to survive the harsh winter and grows them back in the spring. The tree on the right has adapted to the environment and keeps its leaves. Different solutions to the same problem, but they both survive the winter. You may associate yourself with one of the two solutions, but cannot do justice by stating that the other solution is wrong.

I was headed back, by the time I got to this one (right). This walk along the beach in the blizzard is an experience that I would never forget. Some of the most ordinary things were looking awesome behind the lens....

As I walked on back to my car, I came to a clearing. Well, its actually a park, but thats under 4 feet of snow at this moment. This is a classic (left). I felt that I was looking into the past from a distance. You could stand there visualizing the 19th century and expect some carriages to pull up by the porch of that house. However, that SUV parked in the corner, brings you back to reality.
