Harvard in Late Afternoon
These pictures of Harvard were taken more than a week ago in the late afternoon at about 6 PM after work. They were sort of just sitting in the desktop folder, so posting them up. The sun at this time
Thousand Islands
The Thousand Islands isn’t even an appropriate descriptor for the region: there are about 1,800 islands compacted into a relatively small area along St. Lawrence River and right smack in the Canada/US border. Ownership of the islands is split between
Niagara Falls – From the Tower
The second day of the trip – Sunday – saw us getting up bright and early, and heading from our hotel in Buffalo City to the Falls again. The first item on the itinerary was a 45 minute IMAX movie

Provincetown – First Exploration
Come to think of it, it isn’t entirely true to say you can’t go East when in Boston – you just can’t drive as it’s all Massachusetts Bay and the Atlantic Ocean in between you and Provincetown. There’re a couple
