I processed this shot pretty heavily and eventually decided I liked this one the most. It has a sort of desolate feel to it that I liked. What do you think did I over-process it?
Here is an interesting trivia question. What building in the USA is the the most often-painted building by artists? According to Wikipedia it is this little red building in Rockport MA known simply as Motif Number 1.
I took this photo from inside a gift shop overlooking Rockport Harbor. Its easier to see the details in this photo when you click on the image to make it larger.
A few weeks ago I went to Rockport, MA for the first time. I definitely will be going back as I found it a really charming New England harbor town!
I took this photo this past weekend at Hampton Beach, NH. There were not many people around because of Hurricane Bill. Luckily the Hurricane missed New England for the most part.
You could not pay me to get on this boat! I don’t think this boat will be above water for much longer.
I never got around to posting this photo from my Nubble Lighthouse series so I figured now was as good a time as any!
Just thought this was funny seeing this guy with his laptop and headphones on this old looking Tall Ship!

This it the first photo in my Boston Tall Ships 2009 series. Yesterday I went to the 2009 Boston Tall Ships event in Boston, MA. There were over 40 of these tall ships from around the world docked all around Boston that you can look at and tour. Sadly because of budget cuts there was no “Parade of Sails” this year so there was no opportunity to see these boats under sail. 
Still was a great event though! The Tall Ships will be in Boston until July 13th so if you are in the area I recommend checking them out! I will be posting more photos from the Tall Ships event over the coming days so stay tuned!

Name: Sagres
Homeport: Lisbon, Portugal
Rig: Barque
Sparred Length: 293’ 6″
Draft: 17’

Hull: Steel
Wonder if he found any buried treasures?
These Ducks tucked their heads in when I came near. I think they where cleaning themselves but it looks like they are trying to hide! Or maybe they were mad at me for interupting their romantic seaside date so they gave me the cold shoulder?
