If you have ridden the train between Boston and New York even once, you
know to nab a seat on the East side of the train (that's the left side heading
south, in case you are directionally impaired). It is on this side,
during the middle of the trip, as you roll along the Connecticut coast, that
you get priceless views, of marshes and bays, little beaches and boats, tidal
creeks and the Long Island Sound. Some are long views, but some are just
glimpses between the trees. Mind the view, and not just your laptop
computer.
This last trip down, early on a Friday morning in June,
was a revelation. The train was nearly empty. Instead of these
furtive shots with my Blackberry, I could have brought a proper camera and
fired away without embarrassment. I actually had it in my bag the night
before, but took it out. Who takes real pictures on the train? I
do. Next time.
