Pinnacle Rock - Plainville/Farmington, CT

The local natives up here are of a much hardier and wild stock
The two towers that serve as beacons for the Farmington Valley area
So much more like...somewhere other than Connecticut
Hight indicator - distance between me and the ground is about 100ft
The setting sun blossoms over the rolling hills of the Farmington Valley
This is my castle. I saw it, I claimed it, and so it is mine
The castle is actually just a remaining foundation from the Nike Missile Silo that used to be here
Different orientation of the same shot from above
This is just a neat perspective of one hill in Farmington's border in the foreground and Plainville, Southington, and more in the distance. About mid way up in the image is Robertson Airport, Plainville CT
Lovely hills
Such a departure from common Connecticut scenes
A cozy nook high above the valley
The space behind the peak of the ridge
More of the space behind Pinnacle Rock's peak
This is a much more gradual section of the rise aforementioned
The ridge rises about 50 feet from the first view, and the ground below slopes downwards towards the Metacomet Road area
The view of the same toward New Britain Ave. Loewe's Theater lies way yonder
The summit of this ridge. The Peak of Pinnacle Rock. I welcomed the safety rails
If you've traversed I-84 between Waterbury and Hartford, you will have noticed the UConn Health Center when passing the Farmington zone. There it is on your left. Its the gray block on top of that hill. And to your right?, that's Hartford, 30 minutes away
You can make out that building with the bright lights on the top, near Columbus Boulevard. If it were clearer
Just gorgeous
