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.
Well its the week of July 4th and here in MA it has been one of the rainiest and coldest Junes I can remember! I thought this photo was appropriate considering the dreary weather.
If you have been visiting my photoblog for awhile you may remember that last year I posted alot of photos from the annual Hampton Beach Sand Sculpture contest. This past week the 2009 contest was held. I was sadly not able to stay to see any of the finished designs but I was lucky to of least see one of the artists in the very early stages of creating his sculpture. If you want to see the photos from the 2008 Sand Sculpture competition check out the ones I posted here last year.
I kept processing this shot and could not decide on the best way to present it. Finally I settled on this b&w version. I think it gives these waterslides a different feeling than seeing them in color.
Here is a photo I took a couple of months ago while on vacation at Lake Winnipesaukee in NH. It was kind of a choppy day on the lake that day.
Here is a shot I took a couple of months ago of a flower garden that was in downtown Wolfeboro, NH.

The Wright Museum is a World War II museum that is located in Wolfeboro NH. The poster was so colorful and interesting I decided to desaturate the rest of the photo and leave that in color. I cant decide if it worked or not. Either way I think this is a pretty cool way to advertise a museum with a tank breaking through the wall!
These purple flowers have a great front row view of Lake Winnisquam where they can enjoy the action on the lake like the Jet Ski in the background.
Here is a shot I took a couple of weeks ago near Lake Winnisquam in NH. There was this big Osprey nest that I saw and just as I was taking my lens cap off the giant white Osprey flew away leaving me with only her nest to take a photo of. Still the nest is pretty cool and very well built so of least I got that I suppose.
I took this photo on a walking trail in Wolfeboro NH that used to be railroad tracks. There are many old rusty railroad type things on this trail and this is one of them that someone drew some graffiti on. I liked how the drawing looked alot like the pedestrian crossing sign that was behind it.
I took this photo yesterday while visiting Lake Winnisquam.
As I was driving by these train tracks I noticed the mountain far off in the distance and looked for the nearest place to turn around because it looked like it would be a nice photo. I am pretty happy with it overall and I think it was worth stopping to get it.
Here is the final angle I will post of this old covered bridge. Here is the bridge from straight on looking through it to the other side. Cars still use this bridge regularly.
Since alot of people seemed to like the photo of the covered bridge that I posted last week I decided to post a couple more photos of it over the next couple of days from some different angles. Here is a shot of the side of it that shows some of the river below it.
Here is the train leaving the North Conway Train station that I showed in my last blog posting.
