State Of Conneticut

[hoss]

So to quickly explain, these rigs were shot at CT Fire Service Day in Hartford. The large stone building in the background of most of the shots is the Armory, and in front of the rigs was the legislative building. The Fire Service Day held so the Fire Service and the state law makers can get on the same page (that's the theory as I understand it). I was there with a slide show of shots that the members of the CT Fire Photographers had put together for the event. Not being a big hand shaker/elbow rubbing kinda guy, I went to to check out the rigs on display and I am glad I did. Most of them I had shot before, but they were there and so was I armed with my camera. Nobody stopped me for taking photos (lots of capitol pd were around) so what the heck. I was out there twice, once at 10:30 and again around noon and the sun came out just a enough to help me out. By the time I walked to the parking garage and was leaving it was pouring, and on the ride home I drove through near whiteout conditions. Go figure. If I hadn't been awake for almost 36 hours I might have hung around a little longer. Of course that would have meant I would have been around for the "Red Plan" activation for the haz mat at the governor's office. Something to do with a letter and a foul odor making people sick. I am not the biggest fan of that glow worm she-at.
