Connecticut is a pretty scenic state, let's here some of our favorite pieces of architecture, scenery, slice of nature etc.

Soon enough, the Boneyard will be able to publish a tourist's guide to CT.

I think the Guilford Green is quintessential Connecticut. Pretty, historic, functional and only a short walk to the water.

And I'll throw out Harkness Park in Waterford as an under-appreciated gem.

Harkness Park is a beautiful place but hard to find, I only know about it because I live in the Waterford area.

Harkness Park is a beautiful place but hard to find, I only know about it because I live in the Waterford area.

So I googled Harkness State Park and found this photo:

If this doesn't beg for a caption this photo thread I don't know what does. I'm thinking something like:
"Pilgrim detective captures alleged Michael Jackson wardrobe thief." But I'm sure someone else can do better.

Anywhere in the Litchfield hills.

The drive along Route 146 from Branford to Guilford.

That is a beautiful drive, but more often than not the bikes ruin it for me--and I'm a biker. It's an absolutely brutal place to have bikes and cars interacting because it is so scenic but you really have to focus on the road instead. When I am on a bike I feel like I'm either holding up a mile of traffic or about to get killed. When I am in a car I feel like I am either going to drive into the water or kill a biker.
