From Dave Brigham:
On a cloudy, cold, somewhat dreary day this past winter, I walked around the Sandwich marina on Cape Cod, and checked out some nearby sites.
I'm not a "salt life" kind of guy, but I do find that boats, either in or out of the water, make good photography subjects.
Maybe this boat is owned by a fan of A Tribe Called Quest....
And perhaps the one below belongs to someone who owns Off the Grid, a funky outdoor eating/drinking/grooving establishment located nearby, which features a delicious sandwich called a Fishizzle.
I am fascinated by the idea of heading out to sea to make one's living, hauling in massive amounts of fish, being gone for days, braving the worst elements, putting one's life at risk.
I love the colors, names and designs on boats. But I have no desire to get on one and sail the seven seas.
Close to the Cape Cod Canal, I was quite taken by the bright yellow Life Ring against the gray winter sky.
Steps away stands the U.S. Coast Guard Cape Cod Canal Station.
The building dates to 1935.
Finally, I was happy to see a bold splash of color on a dreary day, thanks to the VW Bus in the parking lot of the Pilot House, a great restaurant.
Check back soon for a post about Provincetown, which is much more involved than this little article.
