Description

Welcome to Connecticut, the ministry of tourism welcomes you, history, beaches, casinos and daily gridlock... What more could you possibly want from a Vacation? The thing that strikes me most about this image is that the smog and pollution that we're breathing is clearly evident. The EPA recently sent inspectors here to test the air quality and they couldn't find any... (Air, that is...) Interstate 95, the main artery between New York City and Boston is two lanes through about 70% of Connecticut. Not even close to what is needed. The state has set aside a couple million to study the problem, that means they'll start to widen the road around 2010... That's OK I really didn't want to go to work today anyway.... Thanxxx fer viewin, comments welcome...

Don't worry about getting to work, you will be on Social Security before they fix the roads. Gridlock--ugh, maybe the Martians should attack!!

I thought it was the end of the world when I lost my license a bit over a year ago. Now I am not sure I want it back. I don't miss the road rage, traffic jams, high insurance rates, pollution, ect. I'll probably get one anyways because if I ever get a job. Will these problems ever be settled? It is all about the money. Excellent photo. -Peace :-)

It's no different here in Leeds mate! But you have my sympathies. You should retire early like I have and concentrate on selling your artisitic works. Chill Man!!!! See Yer Mate! Alan

Yikes JD! Looks just like what I saw this weekend getting out of Metro Detroit to go to upper Michigan for a while! Great shot though :) Very cool! I hope to have some of my trip to share soon as well... I was practicing with my new-ish camera.

You are too funny! Gotta love your friends out there too. I don't know which I enjoy more.... your art or the comments these crazy people leave for you. I sit in my office and giggle to myself. People think I'm crazy too. You would think by now that they would KNOW. L.L.L.
