Hyannis Harbor

Since I won't be setting foot down here again till fall (if even then), I figured I might as well go take some pics at the waterfront since I was in the neighbourhood.





These are buoys.  They look like colourful cattails.


Baxter's Fish n Chips on the water.

Ferry coming in from Nantucket.


These are 'Artist Shanties'.  I have no idea what these are like when they are open as I've never seen them open.



Love the name!



Each shanty had the name of one of the villages in Barnstable.

The Hyannis Harbor area was not this nice the first time I lived here.  It was very run down.  They've done a nice job over the years.














I did!

And I hope you did too!

A Room with a View

Was visiting someone at the hospital in mid-November and they happened to have an amazing view of Hyannis Harbor and Lewis Bay.  The body of water in front is Lewis Bay.  Egg Island is on the left and in the center is the opening to Nantucket Sound.


One of the high speed ferries pulling into the harbor from Nantucket.  The other ferry is already in port.


It was one of those very bright days so hard to get a good pic.



Trees almost bare now.



 After we left the hospital, we drove down to the water so I could get a couple quick pics from there. I used to be so familiar with Hyannis 'back in the day' but now I don't know how to get anywhere!




I really need to get down there more to take pics. I just have a real bias against going to Hyannis because the traffic is so horrible.  Plus not knowing my way around.  But I will get down there again. After all, I need to beach comb their beaches too!
