Coast of Summer - Black and White

For the final installment of my 2020 Coast of Summer series, I am sharing some of my favorite locations as seen in black and white.

The light along the coast creates interesting light and shadow often viewed best absent of color.

Coast of Summer - Black and White.

Watch Hill Full Moon - Part Twelve

I decided to conclude my Coast of Summer tour in Watch Hill, Rhode Island, just a few miles from where I started back in June.

For variety, I decided to go on the night of the full moon in late August.

Watch Hill - Part Twelve

Newport - Part Eleven

Although it is known today as a summer place for the rich and powerful, Newport, Rhode Island had humble and sometimes controversial beginnings.

This is part eleven of my Coast of Summer series.

Monhegan Island - Part Ten

Of all the places I have visited this summer on my Coast of Summer tour, Monhegan Island in Maine left the most lasting impression. It doesn't make a lot of sense for me to spend a full summer there, but there is no doubt I’d like to.

Part Ten - The Coast of Summer.

NH Route 1A - Part Nine

The seacoast of New Hampshire is short. You can drive it in less than an hour, but it is very popular with summer tourists for its expansive public beaches and boardwalks.

The drive on NH Route 1A is part nine of my Coast of Summer series.

Marblehead - Part Eight

Marblehead is located between Gloucester and Boston and is known as an east coast center of boating.

Historically, its population is known as seamen and fishermen of great skill.

Part Eight - The Coast of Summer.

Cape Ann - Part Seven

I have always wanted to go on a whale watch and for some reason never had, until I visited Cape Ann for my Coast of Summer series.

I am so impressed with these huge, peaceful animals. If I could (and maybe I can) I would make studying them my life’s work.

Part Seven - Cape Ann. The Coast of Summer.

Provincetown - Part Six

Traveling to the outer tip of Cape Cod.

Provincetown serves as part six of my Coast of Summer series.

Kamala Harris (Update)

While covering the New Hampshire primary in 2019, I filed the following story on an April campaign stop by California Senator Kamala Harris.

I’m reposting - with some minor updates in the text - to reflect her selection as Joe Biden’s pick to be his vice presidential running mate.

Joe Biden’s Choice.

Truro - Part Five

Traveling east along Cape Cod, I reach the town of Truro, as I continue my Coast of Summer series.

Part Five.

Connecticut River - Part Four

The Connecticut River connects interior New England to the Atlantic Ocean.

The maritime heritage of the region is evident from Essex, Connecticut to Saybrook Point.

This is part four of the Coast of Summer.

Narragansett - Part Three

Narragansett, Rhode Island is next door to Newport. It is known for its public beaches and surfing.

This is part three of my Coast of Summer series.

The Forks - Part Two

The forks of eastern Long Island reach out into the Atlantic Ocean toward Cape Cod and the islands.

This is part two of my Coast of Summer project. The Forks.

Stonington Borough - Part One

This is part one of a multi-part project exploring the northeast coastline during the summer of 2020.
