P-Town!

My stepdaughter was on vacation so we made the trek up to Provincetown to walk around and enjoy the sights, sounds and stores.  It wasn't super sunny but the humidity was off the charts, as it has been all summer.

Obligatory picture of Pilgrim Monument.  Did you know the Pilgrims first made landfall in this area of Cape Cod, before they landed & settled in Plymouth?  They were out of beer and needed to make some more.

Shop Therapy.....I could buy everything in here on the first floor.  I emphasize FIRST floor, as the second is porn, sex toys & novelties and fetish wear.

Literally could buy everything.

Town Hall

The shopping is amazing......but I was good.

It was wall to wall people and after I got home I found out that the annual Carnivale Celebration and parade was later in the week.

Such a sucker for archways.

This is my fave store....so much cool stuff on the cheap.  But it's also full of things that it makes walking around somewhat difficult with people in the aisles.  I got a few things but it was too hot and crowded to stay long.

Bumpah stickahs.

Half the time we went in stores just to take advantage of the air conditioning.

Just LOVE these door mats!

Onset

No trip would be complete without a walk downtown to the water.

That's just way too crowded for me.

I went inside Stash's pizza with the hope of getting a slice but they screwed up the pizza that was in the oven and had to start over.  It was taking waaayyyy too long so I left, but not without shooting this cool view out the window.

The Hippie Shop was finally open so I went in, of course.  Got a few postcards and a fridge magnet.

Next time I go in I'll have to see if this one is for sale.

Onset 2017

My energy level is still flagging but I couldn't pass up a rare nice summer day so I went to Onset, which is really close by.  

I wanted to try out 2 pictures from the same place with the new lens and without. So this is the view with my normal lens, zoomed all the way out.

And with the wide angle.

There was such a nice breeze too.  It was so peaceful.

Chickory.

Very pearly shell.

First signs of fall

Run bun, run!

This is the On-I-Set Wigwam which is a spiritualist camp.  You can read about them HERE.  I would love to go inside sometime...it was closed and it's surrounded by a chain link fence and a locked gate.  I was shooting through the fence.

I absolutely love the clapboards.
