Who’s watching who?
Unknown to us, the only sunny day of our stay in Monterey we decided to visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium.  It is well worth a stop if you are visiting this quaint sea side town.  The aquarium offers exhibits ranging from massive water columns to chaotic surge zones.  On the foggy days we decided to drive the coast through Carmel down to Big Sur.  If only we had known what the weather had in store…….

If you ever make it to Boston, plan a visit to the North End. Here you will find a majority of the Freedom Trail, warm Italian hospitality, and the Old North Church.

At the Old North Church make sure you take the ‘Behind the Scenes’ tour. Not only do you get the full account of the church they dispel a couple historical myths.

Here is a view from the bell tower where the lantern that signaled ‘by sea’ was hung (handged?). Captured with my TZ4.

A Quick Boston Sunset

After a long day of walking the freedom trail we were rewarded with this georgeous sunset back at the room. This image was made with the Lumix TZ4 after a quick draw from the cargo pants. Photography of opportunity.

Note: With the TZ4 I ride the exposure copensation quite a bit. For this image I took 2 stops out.

Boston Fly

A day of bad weather and flat light drove us inside while visiting Boston. In line at the Museum of Science we ran into the CEO of the Michael Scott Paper Company.  We didn’t bother him, it looked like he was pretty busy being a dad.  We didn’t stay long. We were there just long enough to catch this little glimpse of summer.

Note: Shot with my trusty sub $200 Lumix TZ4.
