More Fun In New England

Our first trip to New England (in 1998) resulted from a check of the national weather map the night before our week off. We were simply following the sun, but we ended up falling in love with the whole region - especially the rural and coastal areas. Above is Spring Point Ledge Light near Portland, Maine, shot with a hand-held 500mm mirror reflex lens at a range of about 3 miles.

Point Judith Coast Guard Station, RI.

Kingston Station, RI. I want to pick this building up and bring it to the old B&O in Maryland.

Boston Harbor and Graves Lights, MA. This photo makes me crazy. It is fraught with technical problems, but I love the composition and the hazy softness. I will definitely re-shoot this, someday.

Cemetery - Salem, MA. OLD, spooky, haunted graveyard! Pilgrims and witch-hunters - oh my!

New England Church #9 - probably somewhere in Massachusetts.

Whaleback Light, ME. Another one that will need to be re-shot, but just in case it's gone next time we get up that way - here you go!

Turning inland from the Portland, ME area and making a few wrong turns, we found ourselves deep in moose country. The moose we encountered were entirely too cranky to allow us to photograph them, so we settled for this moose crossing sign.

There were supposedly wild snowmobiles roaming the mountains, as well. We didn't see any, though.

Cornish-Windsor Covered Bridge - Cornish, NH. "Walk Your Horses Or Pay Two Dollars Fine." We ran ours, because we are daredevil outlaws livin' on the edge.

Bath, NH Bridge. Their fine was half as much as in Cornish, so we met them halfway and just trotted our little Chevy horses. It seemed like the right thing to do.

Thanks for stopping by. Next up, a last look at New England 1998, including weird trains!
