Photos from today's hike

[blink55184]

Rather than flood the Hartford Photos thread with 35 new pictures, I figured I would post them all in a new thread in order to not inconvenience anyone who doesn't want to see them.

These were all taken by me, today (5/14) in Manchester.

It was a little more hazy out than I thought it would be

CLICK THE IMAGES for full size, much better detail and view!

Skyline in the distance

Skyline in background, the building in the foreground is Manchester Community College

Great view of the city from this bench

Skyline, MCC, and you can see the curve in the 384/84 merge off to the right

I-384 flyover

Manchester Town Hall and Center Congregational Chuch at center, the massive JC Penny outlet above it

Those were the best ones, thanks for looking

Great pictures! Manchester does have great views but I've always felt Buckland Hills was poorly planned. The apartments should have gone where the mall is to capitalize on the views, and the mall on the lower land. The restaurants at Buckland should have taken advantage of the views.

There are actually only a few properties that really take advantage of the view, one being Hops Restaurant, and the other being the hotel up the road from Sams (I think maybe a Fairfield by Marriott?).

Excellent photos, Blink. Great Hartford skyline views and great job of capturing the natural beauty of the area.
