Open Seating at Sunset

I couldn't resist another view of the lighthouse lit up for the holidays. After taking yesterday's shot, I walked back towards the car and looked over my shoulder to see what the scene looked like. The composition of the lighthouse with its extra lights, the lone tree and Abbot Hall across the harbor was too good to pass up (despite the freezing cold). I stood on a small rock formation and grabbed this image. You might notice in this image and yesterday's that something is conspicuously absent. I'll leave it to the comment section to see if anyone picks up [...]

The Lighthouse Decked out in Lights

This weekend, the Rotarians ventured up the steps of the lighthouse and decorated it with Christmas lights. I decided to head up to Chandler Hovey park at sunset on Sunday and photograph the lights as the sun set. I was hoping for a cloudless night with subtle colors and was not disappointed. I was also hoping for a still and not too cold evening - I got the first but it was really, really cold out there tonight. The lights will stay up for the next two weeks or so - make sure you make it out to enjoy this [...]

Keep it Local – C’est La Vie

It's Friday and time to feature another of our local businesses. As I walked downtown, I noted the vibrant orange flowers in front of C'est La Vie that perfectly complemented the orange flag indicating the store was open. For those who don't know, the store carries a wide array of giftware. I'm told they also have incredible melamine plates. Stop in and see for yourself.

From the Rooftops – Old Town House

In the middle of September, I visited Old Town House and the GAR museum. It was a particularly warm day and they had the back door opened to bring in what breeze might come. I asked if I could peak out the back and found this scene before me. It was almost noon yet the sun was at a bit of an angle allowing for the great shadow and reflect light off the windows. This vantage point offers a great view of The Bus Stop and its next door neighbor (which is further reflected in the near window). These moments [...]

Approaching the Landing

Our journey comes to an end with this photo. We made our approach to The Landing and I was pleased to see that those clouds remained and continued to make the scene before me stand out as both beautiful and surreal. There is a lot to take in here from the boat filling up with gas, the lobster men reloading their traps, the crane resting overhead and The Landing restaurant ready to serve a great meal. I was pleased to see that the main tree had held onto its leaves just long enough for me to get this shot...

Coming to port with an aerial escort

As we neared The Landing under the incredibly dramatic sky, I noted this view with Abbot Hall's tower jutting up behind the homes lining the harbor. As luck would have it, a seagull appeared and decided to fly to just the right point to make the composition stand out (I promise he/she is real and has not been Photoshopped into place). It's no wonder that this is such a sailing town when you can experience such views when you return to harbor (let alone all that you see when you leave our protected waters).

Along the Waterfront

Here is another view of the homes that line the harbor. It's one thing to see these beautiful homes along the water with their varying styles and colors. It's quite another to imagine the views they have looking out at the harbor, Neck and vast expanse of ocean beyond.

Keep it Local – Mahri

As I walked around town in November, I noted that Mahri's beautiful red door was opened as a result of the unusually warm weather. I had never noticed the large M that could be seen through the open door but really liked that composition and decided to return when the light was more favorable. It turned out that we had great light just a few hours later and I set up in front of the store to take this image. The open red door invites you into the beautiful space inside that is filled with jewelry, fashion and giftware. You [...]

From the Rooftops – Washington Street

At the end of November, I visited Betty Breuhaus at her office on the third floor of the building that houses Mud Puddle Toys. I had the crazy idea to try to shoot from the roof of the building but that plan didn't quite make it to fruition. Instead, I peeked out one of Betty's windows and saw this amazing view below. The sun was setting early and there were just enough clouds to diffuse the light from the setting sun. I grabbed this shot after patiently waiting for pedestrians and cars to pass. I have to say that it [...]

Passing Front Street and the Old North Church

Continuing on our journey back from Childrens Island, we passed these beautiful homes on Front Street. I had never seen these from the water before and they really are amazing. The golden steeple of the Old North Church shines in the background and the few boats left in the harbor serve to balance out the scene. The journey continues next week but a new view From the Rooftop will be posted tomorrow.
