Fort Sewall – 1742

A hint of things to come?  As we get ready for what may be 1-2 feet of snowfall, I decided to bring out this image taken in mid-January after a much quieter snow storm.  This particular one only dumped a few inches but the timing was perfect and the snow was wet enough to stick to branches and serve as a great contrast.

Dawn Lights Up Fort Sewall

Two weeks ago, I ventured out at dawn in hopes of a nice sunrise from Front Street and Fort Sewall.  I made my way down there at 5:30 in the morning and ventured out of the car (and into the cold) once the first light appeared at the horizon.  I started off with this image of the houses that abut the Fort and the great tree that marks this part of town.  There were just enough clouds […]
