The Ice Breaks

Ice on the Connecticut River.

Waiting for the sun to set over the city of Middletown, Connecticut while working on an essay concerning middle-America and this political moment. This is the view from the steel bridge that serves as a visual gateway to the city.

Below: the city skyline just before sunset and a railway swing bridge in the foreground. For some reason the curve of the river and the current breaks up the ice just past the rail bridge.
