Post "Ten Minutes From Home"

This is for our assignment "Ten Minutes from Home."
It is taken in my town, (which is the last street before the next town here in CT)
This is a sunset I shot in Newington, looking into Rocky Hill, Connecticut.
Comments please!

Default Assignment: 10 Minutes from Home

While visiting my mother-in-laws house last night, we also visited her neighbors horses. My three year old is obsessed with horses and I promised her a couple pictures. Conveniently enough, this also fits the criteria for 10 minutes from home.

Default Not For Assignment

My first attempt at this...

It's a single gravestone in memory of a woodcutter whose house burned down on the spot where the grave stands in 1806. It's exactly 10 minutes walk from my house and, after living in my city flat for almost 9 months, I'm ashamed to say it was the first time I'd ever been in the woods!!!
