Collinsville / The January View

A thaw has moved into southern New England, one that I’m hoping will only be temporary.

A visit to Collinsville yesterday resulted in some pictures of the riverfront and surrounding neighborhoods. The village is situated on the Farmington River; the site of an historic factory complex where edged tools were made. It was here that John Brown came to purchase spears, an acquisition which ultimately led to his failed rebellion and execution.

Yesterday, the Farmington was dressed with large patches of melting ice, and snow was beginning to fade from the riverbanks. There’s an elevated section of rail trail next to the factory that provides the downward gaze. The patchiness of the snow looked especially interesting in black and white.
