It pays to keep your camera with you...

...because you're more likely to catch some shots like these I took earlier today (actually yesterday now). Was driving into work on I-95 when I saw this LA class about to pass under the bridge. Fortunately, I had my Digital Rebel DSLR in the backseat (

) and I immediately headed to Fort Trumbull where I knew I would have a good view of the action. Took a lot of shots, here are some of them:

Heading down the Thames

Some of them are in RAW format, some are jpegs. I'm happy send full res versions to anyone who requests them.

Nice shots there

Hmmm, I wonder how many houses on the side of that river belong to legitimate civilians...

I've had that same thought many times! No need to spend a billion dollars/rubles/yuan on a spy satellite-- just rent a house in New London for a few hundred a month and you can get far better intelligence. Everytime a sub heads out to sea you can see it from the whole city, and there's even a scenic tourist overlook that looks out over the Nautilus Museum and the sub base itself.

I can just picture a bunch of bored Russian spies sitting around watching Jerry Springer on TV, waiting for a sub to go by. "Pavel....da, I see one moving down the riv...What?! She slept with her WHAT?! What a pig!! I can't believe this woman!"
