Here’s another from Maine — this was taken on the day we arrived. We didn’t see the sun for another two days! This is from the lake outside our hotel. We didn’t get a chance to go rowing or canoeing, sadly, but it was a very nice place to stay.

Boothbay Harbor, Maine, August 2010. Rob and I drove around Maine and Massachusetts last week. Unfortunately, we managed to get the coldest, rainiest week of the summer for our holiday — we wound up at the L.L. Bean Store in Maine not just because Rob wanted to show me but because we were in desperate need of actual hardcore rain gear!

In any case, I’m not totally in love with my shots from the trip — I think some came out okay (this being one of them) but the colors and lighting just seem off in most of them. The gray skies didn’t help, either! I might get more into my shots once I’ve had a bit more distance.

good bye

Taken at the Queensboro Plaza subway stop, Long Island City, 2004. “Highlander” fans just might recognize that sign… ;)

“Shoot the Freak” booth, Coney Island, NY, 2008. Yes, you are really shooting a person…with paint balls. :) Welcome to Coney Island!

Pier D, Hudson River, sunset

Pier D used to serve the New York Central Railroad’s 60th Street Yard and burned down in the early 70s. It’s full history is in the link. It’s now part of Riverside Park — it was allowed to stand as a part of Manhattan’s past.

There’s something fascinating about this structure — the shape, the way the sun shines through the angles, its history — it’s good to see NYC celebrating and trying to preserve its railroad past, even a bit.

I took this in 2007 (2006?!) somewhere around Connecticut, off Rob’s parents’ boat. (Pre-geotagging, otherwise I’d be more precise!) While there’s not a lot happening here, there’s something about the colors that I like.

JK Oh!

little piece of Grand Central

You can’t always tell from the pictures, but Grand Central, while huge, is also hemmed in on two sides by buildings around Midtown. Here’s a piece!
