The above photo was submitted by MILE member George E Landis. PPSA
Here is his brief story about the taking of this photo:
The story behind this image goes back to the morning when I was coming up route 9, en route to our home here in Cromwell. As I passed the Harbor Park area, I could not help but notice the extraordinary stillness that held the river in its grasp. The reflection of the bridge was fabulously clear, and much more striking than I had ever seen before. Regretting that I did not have a camera with me, I vowed to return to the site the following day, in hopes that there would be a repeat visual performance. Good fortune was with me on that day, and, walking out on dry land to a point where this perspective appeared, I thrilled as I took this picture.
It is one of my favorites of the greater Middletown area.

Welcome to MILE
Middlesex Institute for Lifelong Education (MILE) was created in 1993 for the purpose of providing a learning environment that enriches the intellectual, social, and cultural lives of adults aged 50 and over who share a love of lifelong learning.
We are sponsored by Middlesex Community College (MxCC). MILE is an all-volunteer non-profit organization with programs designed for, and attended by, members. Membership is open to all adults, retired, semi-retired or employed in Middlesex County although interested residents of other communities are always welcome. Currently, our membership averages about 350 people from all walks of life and represents at least 35 area towns!
MILE offers classes in a wide range of disciplines without concern for credit, grades, or pre-requisites. Programs are often enhanced by field trips.
Lifelong learning begins today and continues forever. Take part in MILE's ever-evolving educational offerings and opportunities. We'd love for you to join us.
