Tonight was the last of the carillon concerts at Trinity College in Hartford. For the last 30 years, we've gone there every Wednesday that we're home, bringing a picnic dinner and some wine, so sit and listen to the bells. We go regardless of weather. If it rains, we sit in the covered cloister. the last concert is always tinged with sadness, as it signals the impending end of summer. This is the bell tower of the Gothic chapel, taken just before we left this evening--it was already getting dark at 8:30. I had only my little point and shoot, no tripod or equipment, so all I could really catch was the light from the chamber where the carilloneur plays. I superimposed it on an image made earlier, while it was still light out to give a sense of how the tower glows at dusk.
