One little island with one nice sized house. The Thimble Islands are in Long Island Sound, off Branford, CT.
Viewed: 1627 times.
It is surprising that this home was built, considering it takes up the entire island! As I understand it, long as the rock/island is visible at high tide, it's possible to build. This house is part of the Thimble Islands, off Branford, CT, in Long Island Sound.

A spectacular home in the Thimble Islands, off Branford, CT, in Long Island Sound. Imagine how difficult and expensive it was to build this home. Everything had to be brought in by boat. The island probably doesn't have any outside utilities.

This shot posed a technical challenge I was unable to overcome. Digital cameras have a much more limited dynamic range than a film camera. There was no way to get both the boat and the sky together looking the way it did to the naked eye. This shot was taken in the Pine Orchard section of Branford, CT.

This church, on the Branford Town Green, was built in 1640. This shot was taken well after sunset. The church is nicely lit, and the sky still had some twilight brightness.*

This is the Branford, CT Library. If my Roman Numeral translation is correct, it was built in 1893 (MDCCCXCIII). This building is more architecturally interesting than practical.
