Hidden in Plain Sight: A Deep Traveler Explores Connecticut

Hidden in Plain Sight: A Deep Traveler Explores Connecticut (Garnet Books)

In the course of the mundane routines of life, we encounter a variety of landscapes and objects, either ignoring them or looking without interest at what appears to be just a tree, stone, anonymous building, or dirt road. But the â€œdeep traveler,â€ according to Hartford Courant essayist David K. Leff, doesnâ€™t make this mistake. Instead, the commonplace elements become the most important. By learning to see the magic in the mundane, we not only enrich daily life with a sense of place, we are more likely to protect and make those places better. Over his many years working at the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection and writing about the stateâ€™s landscape, Leff gained unparalleled intimacy while traveling its byways and back roads. In Hidden in Plain Sight, Leffâ€™s essays and photographs take us on a point-by-point journey, revealing the rich stories behind many of Connecticutâ€™s overlooked landmarks, from the Merritt Parkway and Cornwallâ€™s Cathedral Pines to roadside rock art and centuries-old milestones.
