One day I should go around collecting the name of the churches, until now one noticeable thing was a quote from Tolkien written in giant letters just outside one of the Churches on the Green. But the most striking thing was to see the painting scatching off the façade of the Church of the Reedemer of the -United church of Christ-, motto: "The wise still seek him". The building is in made of brick with a front roughly neoclassical -should I say newclassical?-. The cracks in the painting revealed to my lazy and naive eyes that the entire greek temple like structure was actually a decoration made in wood! Talk about little differences! This is really bewildering, how strong their faith in the Reedemer must be to trust wood looking like stone!

Better to climb up the top of the hill (the one at the background of the pictures of the Green) away from the sins of the world, and enjoy the view. East Rock Park is about half an hour walk from the city centre, (by the way, it is true that americans don't walk, but street are not deserted of people, there are those who run), climbing up is not too hard, and for few second, looking up to the tree and the untouched snow one can even go back to Jack London's novels. If you look down, a beautiful river , picturesque bridges, snow and trees.



Once you got on the top, the view of the city is interesting, with the few towers around the central square and the suburban area spreading around. Just a little on the right and the light over the sea is making a beautiful reflection over the harbour.
