Barnstable Harbor

In early October, I agreed to work at the high school on a Mon and Tues, and I only agreed because the long range forecast showed clouds.  Of course the weather ended up gorgeous and I lost 2 days of shooting. Luckily, I got a chance to go to Barnstable Harbour for a few quick pics.  Here's a screen shot of the map.  I was located where the red arrows is pointing and shooting across the water at Sandy Neck Beach.

First I stopped at Millway Beach.  Most of the glass I saw was fresh but I did get one piece of worn white!







This is the pic I was so totally hoping to get.  It has a Winslow Homer quality about it and I'm really happy with how it came out.  There is a small cottage colony out on the tip of Sandy Neck.  Back in the 80s a friend took me out there (only accessible with a 4 wheel drive) cause I have a closer pic of the lighthouse from then, but I hear that you can't go out that far anymore.  I have no idea if people live there in summer or year round or not at all.  HERE'S a fascinating history of the Sandy Neck Lighthouse.

This sign is epic.
