  1. Great pic. It's my hometown -- Happy Adventure. These store houses don't exist anymore and the coastline has been altered. I was sad to see it change.

  2. Hi Rj,

    Thanks for the update and fixing the location. I photographed this quiet scene some years ago at a time when I was sloppy with my documentation.

  3. Very nice, I haven't been to Salvage!

    Oh, and to answer your question about the signature on my pictures, I add text in Paint Shop Pro.

  4. Hey John:

    The sky color is wind blocked out of the bay's reflection adding quite a bit of feeling to the already pristine point. Thanks for taking time to stop and it's always a reward to see your photos! Sincerely, KennethF

    I have been brousing through your blog and your photographs are outstanding. It is also very educational and one really gets a feel for where you live and the history behind it. I live in Northern Ohio and someday hope to visit your wonderful area. Best wishes. Beverly
