Musical Instruments

Yet another new Gallery. This one is of Musical Instruments. Mostly not the usual ones one would see, or unusual versions of ones.

At the left is an old Acadian button and stop accordion played by one of the performers who play it with the Zydeco group from Louisiana called The Pine Leaf Boys. I hope to be adding many more unusual instruments to this Gallery.

My pleasure, Don

Boats

I have three new Galleries all under the Category Boats. There are Sailboats, Power Boats and Other Boats as in the ones at the left.

Most images were taken recently, but a few are older.

I especially like very old ships and boats, as you will see. Enjoy!

Art in the Park

Elm Park in Worcester currently has a large number are sculptures gracing its grounds and a few of the trees. Two can be seen in the image at left. One being the set of charred log stele in the foreground and the other being the distant red object across the pond. Styles cover a wide gamut and artists are from all over New England. I believe these will remain in the Park at least through the summer.

As always, click the title for more.

Buskers

I love to stop and watch Buskers on the street. Here are some from Newbury Port and Quebec City.

This fellow on the left is a very fine classical guitarist who serenaded us for many hours on two days while we were in Quebec City. He works down on the Water Front in the Old City.

More at the Title Link.

Alternative Views

I like to see the whimsical in things I shoot. Take things in a different light. Call them as I see them. Image shown is The Abbot of Cairn Abbey

Here is a new Gallery of images that sometimes take a different view on what is around us. 

I think this one, Rust and Facade Stories are my favorite Galleries of such special Collections of images.

You can see more at Alternative Views.

Rust

My latest Gallery Collection that I have started is images of rusty surfaces. This started with being inspired by the images of others on Dgrin Forum

So far I have parts of an old fountain, harrow, a former No Parking road sign and more.

This is one I intend to pursue further, as well.

Do check out the rest by clicking on the title of this post.

Moore State Park

Images from one of my favorite sites to revisit regularly. The park features many Rhododendron and Mountain Laurel bushes as well as a mill pond, water falls, old Sawmill and other mill cellar holes and much more. 

I shoot there all through the year.  Watch for more images to be posted on a regular basis.

More to be seen when you click on the post title.
