Giants of Sandwich & the Tree in the Pond

Several years ago, Magyar's Glass Studio began to make these really cool giant statues wrapped with lights.  Their popularity has continued to grow and he has made upwards of 60 giants which are placed all over town at various businesses.  A few years ago when I could still drive at night, I went around a little bit to take pictures but over time I've had to stop cause I can't see that well anymore.  My awesome husband has actually eagerly volunteered to drive me around after dark so that I can lug my tripod and stuff.  He finds a safe place to park so that I can set up my shots.  I really appreciate it!

Lights in the trees next to Town Hall

First Church of Christ

This is at a store that sells weather stuff

Dan'l Webster Inn

Beautiful old homes

When we were kids, this was a penny candy store with wooden floors.  Then it was a florist and then a piano/organ shop.  

Episcopal church

The Belfry B&B

More pretty homes

 Of course we had to stop so I could shoot the tree in the pond

Crow Farm.

Titcomb's Books

One of my faves

Another one I love.  The swan and dragon are on a very dark road and are quite striking.

Sandwich Legion.  I LOVE how this came out.

East Sandwich

Had to run a quick errand in East Sandwich so I stopped for some snappies.  This is the smaller part of Hoxie Pond off Old County Road.  Normally those trees would be yellow, red and orange.  

This was pretty much the sum total of the foliage in the area.

I drove a little ways into West Barnstable and still no colourful trees, although The Whipple Tree shop was festively decorated.

Back to town to hit up Sandy Neck Beach real quick

 Not a single piece of glass to be found which is weird cause this is a very popular beach.

View of the dunes from the parking lot.

Tooling  back down Rte. 6A I stopped at this gallery for a couple pics, although it was closed and I didn't get the name of it.

This was a very, very high tide so I pulled off at Scorton Creek to get this shot of the flooded marshes.

I loooooove this place!  They make beautiful glass and are responsible for building "The Giants" that are put up at various businesses in town at Christmas.  They are lit at night and are a beautiful site to behold.  I think there are over 30 giants now.  I used to go around at the holidays and shoot them but I don't drive at night very well anymore.

Next up, hunting for more Sandwich Glass.
