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.

Green colorized scan of a black and white photo. A close view of a hand holding a silver light pen, whose black tip points to a word on a page of text displayed on an IBM 2250 Model 4 vector display. The room is dimly lit, with text shown in brightly glowing green letters. The display is attached to an IBM 360/67 running the Hypertext Editing System (HES) at Brown University, October 1969. The screen shows the text of several short paragraphs of the HES reference manual. The bright green color of the text resembles the bright green phosphor color of text drawn on the Model 4’s CRT display. Photo by Greg Lloyd.
