Color photo of about twenty casually dressed older people standing on a broad flat beach, talking in small groups that are scattered from the shallow waves on the left, to the flat tide line on the right. Most of the people wear low, cloth shoes, colorful shorts or bathing suits, and shirts — many wear hats. The sun is beginning to set to the right, brightly highlighting the tops and edge of a wide, dense bank of gray-bottomed clouds that extends from the ocean to the beach. The cloud bank stretches from just beyond where the people are standing to about a third of the way down the beach, as the beach extends to the horizon.

Coincidence Engine One: Universal People’s Republic Time (2008) by [The User]. Color photo of an art installation with twelve hundred identical small white electric battery-powered alarm clocks with white faces, black dials and hands. The clocks are tightly stacked on more than 25 small, curved and narrow steps cut into a tall custom designed C-curved white stand which is much wider at its base than at the final step which forms its open top. Starting at floor level, each step is set back a small distance — about the same as the width of the each step — creating a curved wall of clocks sloping up and away from the viewer. The clocks are brilliantly lit from above, inviting a single viewer to step into the open side of the stand to feel surrounded by the many small clocks, watch the second hands move in near unison, and feel immersed in their nearly synchronized sound. [The User] is an art collective comprised of architect and installation artist [Thomas McIntosh](http://www.undefine.ca/en/artists/thomas-mcintosh/), and composer and sound artist Emmanuel Madan.

Color photo — a very straight, smoothly paved bike path leads through sunlit trees and low, dense greenery into the far distance. A yellow-painted dashed line separates the path into two lanes. Thick white lines mark the left and right edges of the path, with closely trimmed grass from the edges of the path to greenery on either side. An unpainted two-rail rustic wooden fence bounds the greenery on the right, leading to a distant red octagonal Stop sign — which marks a small crossing path. ‘STOP’ is painted below ‘AHEAD’ in white on the path just ahead. Minuscule figures — perhaps cyclists — are barely visible on the path in the far distance. The 14.3 mile path follows the former Providence and Bristol Railroad railbed, opened as a paved bike path in 1992,

Color photo of an elaborate candlestick style steampunk telephone standing in front of its fitted and mirror lined mahogany case. A brass-bound, cylindrical mahogany cylinder rests on a gray metal pineapple shaped object, supported by a square gray metal base with four curved-foot legs. Brass pipes and valves lead from the top of the cylinder to a silvery metal spiral — shaped like a spiral of incense (often burned as a mosquito repellent). A thick cloth covered tube connects the brass plumbing to a bright metal fitting, which connects the tube to a larger cord-wrapped tube. A thin gray metal tube rises from the brass plumbing on the right of the spiral, supporting a brass steam whistle with a cylindrical body, whistle hole, and conical top.

Night color photo of Taquerio “a vintage gas station converted to a hip taco bar with open garage doors in the summer and plenty of outdoor dining.” A tall turquoise sign at the curb, and dramatically lit turquoise tile on front of the former station contrast with yellowish-orange lights (like sodium vapor) brightly illuminating the interior and the area under the tall freestanding roof sheltering what was originally the station’s gas pump island. The gas pumps have been removed, and replaced by a bar top that stretches between the two white pillars supporting the roof. Tall bar chairs neatly line either side of the bar. Five red bullet lamps hang above the bar, attached to a thin white rod running between the pillars. A large black star over a red stripe, back lit by turquoise light, is mounted near the front edge of the pump island roof. No people or cars are in the photo. It looks like art project dropped into a lot on 30 Broadway Ave, Mystic, CT. Impressive!

Color photo of the interior of a long, narrow wooden building, a 250 foot segment of 1000 foot 1824 ropewalk, used for spinning lengths of fiber into long ropes for sailing ships. Large wooden pillars about every ten feet divide the length of the room into two galleries. In the left gallery, strands of fiber are twisted to form rope by spinning them through a circular device. The right gallery is open for workers — and visitors to walk freely. Small figures of visitors are visible at the far end of the building. The ropewalk was moved to and restored at the Mystic Seaport Museum, Mystic CT USA.
