Derby, Connecticut
A chilly morning, 12/317, under a heavy overcast sky with temperature just above freezing. Recently I'd noticed that O'Sullivans Island had been reopened as a recreation area after being closed for years during environmental cleanup. It's actually a peninsula, not really an island, that extends into the water at the junction of the Naugatuck and Housatonic Rivers.
The water was high and there was quite a bit of flooding along the shore and some interior areas of the park.
There's a free-access boat launch adjacent to the park area and fishermen frequent the island as well now that it's open, but there are issues about the fish in the Connecticut rivers with their history of heavy industrial development and pollution.
The mirror surface of the water echoed the ominous deep overcast late morning light.

Superb Northeastern landscapes. Carl is either the Ansel Adams or Edward Weston of the Northeast.
