New Haven/East Rock

As if this little plant stands taller than the huge mountain in front of it, isn't it?.
But, yet it is quite beautiful when you look at from this angle!!.




When did we first pave a tiny little road in this heavily wooded, dense forest??, keep monitoring where this road leads to?.

Oh, I took the unpaved short cut into the woods, I saw this fallen, trimmed and cut tree branch or perhaps a trunk.
Why.. among so many other attractive trees, branches and fallen woods that this one interested me...don't know!?These plants are always useful, even after they are fallen lifeless so to say?.

When I reached the top, I got this panoramic view of ER area from the top of the hill, I guess that you guessed it right from where I am standing, those regular walkers, joggers, bickers and visitors to the hill certainly know this spot and they stood here once in their trip up to watch the beauty of the city from up!

Immmmmm......the downtown skycrappers are not as tall as me, look at me here, from this view, I am staning on this lil mountain pretty and pretty tall.
This plant might not attract just an ordinary eye, but when it captured on the camera, just look how elegant and peacefully posing, don't you agree?. And these beauties don't need any make up to look pretty?.





And, this is a view of the NEW HAVEN, a view from the top of the East Rock Park, Connecticut.




View of the Ocean from the top of East Rock mountain.

ON TOP OF EAST ROCK PARK





This beautiful monument appears like splitting the tree and coming out of the middle of teh tree, can be found at the top of the east rock mountain.





Like the statue of Liberty to NY, I believe there is a story behind this monument too, in any case this is a beautiful one when it is viewed from either stading on the top of teh east roack mountain, or from the town of east rock areas, one can see this from the town. While walking on the Orange street, one will be able to see this.

So,
tell me if this is not a breathtaking veiw on this shot?.

This view is obtained from the east rock iron bridge.

These are some recent pics I shot from East Rock park area and in the New Haven Green.

Apart from all sorts of things one can talk about New Haven, there is a beauty to this city that can be partly acknolwedged and appreciated in the following images. I took this using my coolplix camera. Due to time restrain, I am only posting the images, later I will add on the comments and more. But, I am quite sure that NewHavener's already know the place in these pics. Enjoy.

  • If you are in New Haven for any reason and looking for best breakfast without burning your fingers and wallet with ridiculous prices but yet get the most delicious food, look no further than a short drive from downtown to Pantry, located at 2 Mechanic Street, intersction between Lawrence St, Mechanic St and State St in New Haven.

    This locality is commenly known as East Rock Area, the beautiful East Rock Park and East Rock Hills are walkable from Pantry. Yale new campus, Peabody museum are closeby. Orange, Edward and Whitney streets are closeby. The atmosphere at the Pantry breakfast restaurant is very friendly, homely and quite a busy place. Sometime a wait is required, other times you can walk-in, but no reservations and that mundane dance to the tune of hi-fi, glass paneled restaurant kind. It is simply a homely restaurant. I go with my shorts and t-shirt, sometime with shoos or other time with sandals, doen't matter, I am decent looking even if I visit a grocery store, what I mean is there is no need to worry about your dress code at this restaurant. LoL...

    Only breakfast items are served, they close at 2pm. Monday is holiday, the rest of the week and weekend is opened as usual. I can't discriminate which is a better breakfast in the menu list, because they take spcial care to cook every single item, either the super pancake (I felt like eating breakfast and lunch together, big quantity), about 3-4 thick pancake with starwberries or blueberries on top,butter and vermont maid syrup and it goes with the pancake smoothely to let you devour!?. French toast, different kinds of potato addition to the toasts, omlet and egg toasts...immmmmmmm tasty. Well, coffee as a part of your breakfast, the coffee is one hundred times superior and better in quality than the star bucks crap. I normally ask for few re-fills. All other drinks are served (fruit based drinks or soda). I am not describing all the items, there are several special items served at pantry, whatever you eat, I can assure you it is worth visiting for a break fast or even for a early lunch. The berries on top of a pancake is unbelievable, a whole bowl of fresh berries, neatly cut and incredebly arranged on top of pancake, I could never eat the whole break fast, first I finish all the berries and then I eat about half of the pancake served, good enough to satiate my hunger and tommy, no more room. Anyways, I visit often and every time I go with immmmmmmmmm satisfied eating here.
    Note: I am just another customer like everyone, I am not related the pantry in anyways.
    Enjoy,

NewHavener's do say "Our City of New Haven does sleep!!?". New Haven is a constantly growing and quite active city of mixed cultures. The location of green in the midst of downtown, restaurants, beautiful church buildings, sky scrappers and the breathtakingly beautiful Yale buildings provide the special charm to the city of New Haven, in fact, Yale dignifies and signifies the city of New Haven, formed during 1666, one of the oldest city and county, she has 30towns under her county belly.
