Skating at Bushnell Park - Hartford, CT
After our first snowfall of the winter season, the warmish (35 F°) weather and bright sunshine called for a little ice skating across the street from our residence. Always something to do in the #Hartcity

Hartford Connecticut downtown skyscrapers - continuous aerial 4K drone panorama footage using Litchi
Sometimes there is no wind, the lighting conditions are favorable, the selected flight path is just right... and in the end, there is no need to cut the video into pieces - the whole flight is enjoyable to watch. At least, to me. Hartford downtown on Saturday afternoon, half-empty as usual on weekends. Notice the Bushnell Park skating rink at 3:09 though! Music by Jean-Jacques Goldman.

Starting Point: .
Hartford is the capital of Connecticut and the historic seat of Hartford County until Connecticut disbanded county government in 1960. As of the 2010 Census, Hartford's population was 124,775,[1] making it Connecticut's third-largest city after the coastal cities of Bridgeport and New Haven. Census Bureau estimates since then have indicated Hartford's subsequent fall to fourth place statewide as a result of sustained population growth in the coastal city of Stamford.
Nicknamed the Insurance Capital of the World, Hartford houses many insurance company headquarters, and insurance remains the region's major industry.[2] Founded in 1637, Hartford is among the oldest cities in the United States. Hartford is home to the nation's oldest public art museum, the Wadsworth Atheneum; the oldest publicly funded park, Bushnell Park; the oldest continuously published newspaper, The Hartford Courant; the second-oldest secondary school, Hartford Public; Trinity College, an elite, private liberal arts college, and the Mark Twain House where the author wrote his most famous works and raised his family, among other historically significant attractions. In 1868, resident Mark Twain wrote, Of all the beautiful towns it has been my fortune to see this is the chief.[3]
Following the American Civil War, Hartford was the richest city in the United States for several decades.[4] Today, Hartford is one of the poorest cities in the nation with 3 out of every 10 families living below the poverty line.[5] In sharp contrast, the Hartford metropolitan area is ranked 32nd of 318 metropolitan areas in total economic production[6] and 7th out of 280 metropolitan statistical areas in per capita income. Highlighting the socio-economic disparity between Hartford and its suburbs, 83% of Hartford's jobs are filled by commuters from neighboring towns who earn over $80,000, while 75% of Hartford residents who commute to work in other towns earn just $40,000.
Economy
Hartford is the historic international center of the insurance industry, with companies such as Aetna, Conning & Company, The Hartford, The Phoenix Companies, UnitedHealthcare and Hartford Steam Boiler based in the city, and companies such as Travelers and Lincoln National Corporation having major operations in the city. The city is also home to the corporate headquarters of U.S. Fire Arms and United Technologies.
From the 19th century until the mid-20th century, Hartford was a major manufacturing city. During the Industrial Revolution into the mid-20th century, the Connecticut River Valley cities produced many major precision manufacturing innovations. Among these was Hartford's pioneer bicycle (and later) automobile maker Pope.[64] As in nearly all former Northern manufacturing cities, many factories have been closed, relocated, or reduced operations.
Aetna and the Hartford Financial Services Group, both Fortune 100 companies, are headquartered in Hartford. Travelers Insurance has its largest national employment center and historical headquarters in the city. CIGNA insurance is headquartered in the region with a presence in Hartford and its suburb Bloomfield. United Health Insurance has a significant presence in the city.[65]
Hartford is a center for medical care, research, and education. Within Hartford itself the city includes Hartford Hospital, The Institute of Living, Connecticut Children's Medical Center, and Saint Francis Hospital & Medical Center (which merged in 1990 with Mount Sinai Hospital).

Carousel at Bushnell Park, Hartford CT
A ride on the recently restored carousel. Includes music from the Wurlitzer band organ, also restored. I'm guessing they retrofitted to a sequencer from the original rolls they had when I was a kid in the late 1980s.

BUSHNELL PARK NEW PLAYGROUND
Bushnell Park new Playground which open officially on November 17, 2018. The old playground erected back in 1999 was taken down in 2016 due to deteriorating concerns. I am very happy to see this playground back at Bushnell Park, the city kids and visiting neighbors should have a place to play while enjoying the vintage 1914 carousel and 50 acre beautiful historical park.Christian enjoyed the new Playground very much, which features the State Capital building Golden dome and the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Arch. The floor is a rubber material which is a big Plus in my book. It also has musical instruments and a Panel that explains how a bill become a law. We will definitely be visiting this Playground very often. We invite you to Come and check out the new Playground. Thumb UP for ???? for Bushnell Park Playground.

The Carousel at Bushnell Park in Hartford, CT
A 1914 carousel housed in a 24-sided pavilion with 48 hand-carved wooden horses and two lovers' chariots that swirl around a booming Wurlitzer band organ. The Knox Foundation brought the carousel to Hartford from Canton, Ohio, in 1974. Tracey Cameron, a Hartford resident, spent more than a year restoring the horses to reflect the same fury that Russian immigrants Solomon Stein and Harry Goldstein first carved into their faces in 1914.
