I can’t say enough about the views in Connecticut. Oceans, rivers, forest, plains and everything in between shape this beautiful state and make for unforgettable sights of natural beauty. But these photographs are especially stunning. Unlike in the movies, these photos are unplanned, unaltered, and unpredictably breathtaking. The reason this state has graced the big screen so many times is because its looks just can’t be duplicated. See for yourself!
