Nissitissit Covered Bridge in Fall

Last weekend began the peak foliage show in southern New England. On a Sunday afternoon we took a quick drive to Brookline and Hollis, New Hampshire to visit some local farms, view the foliage, and of course snag some pictures of a covered bridge.

Full set of fall pictures are here on Flickr. More to come this week!

The Thames at Night

Only a few weeks ago, we took a trip to London to visit a friend from the U.S. who is going to school there. The first night we arrived, we took a walk down the Thames to take in some views of the city. London has such a great blend of historic and modern worlds, we spent a few hours just wandering.

Will have a few posts coming up with pics from the trip, so look out for those.

The Golden Gate

Spent last week out west in San Francisco and points south from there. Should have a few sets of photos from the weekend coming soon. Here are the first views of the Golden Gate, a great area for walking / hiking around with awesome views.

Fall Sunrise on the River

Spent a few hours last weekend over in Newton on the Charles River at sunrise. There are plenty of trails that run along the water through the woods. Some great color at this time of year.

 

Downtown Bath

The town of Bath, Maine is typically one that most people will drive straight through. The main town is one strip along the shore of the Kennebec River ending in the Bath Iron Works. It's actually a great small town to peel off the highway and check out if you're ever on the way through the area. Definitely worth a note; stop by the local coffee shop, Cafe Creme or BBQ restaurant, Beal Street Barbeque for some great food and drink.

Doubling Point

Just off the main highway of route 1 in Bath, Maine is the seldom-visited Doubling Point light house. It is only accessible through a 10 minute drive down a dirt road with few signs, so there are likely to be no other visitors if you find it. The grounds are open to the public but is owned and watched after by a private family who are very welcoming to visitors. When we arrived the owner was assembling and painting boat parts and gave us a quick tour. The walkway to the lighthouse juts out into the Kennebec River and offers great view of the Bath Iron Works and shipyards. Definitely worth the drive.
