Those are great. At his age he’ll always remember that trip. I worked about a hundred yards from that top pic in the market.

Here’s one my favorites for many , many trips to the Cape with family, then girls plus friends. My record for a week on a 26 foot boat is 6 teenage girls. I think they would call CPS on me today….

The most difficult part is that we mustn't become them, and they mustn't become us.

My 2 sons have made the past useless as the present is rich and alive, as their mother still does.

Beautiful images Matt !

Great detail shots, VLN. You've got at least a bit of advanced photography in you because detail shots are rare for a set of tourist shots detail shots set you apart from the routine tourist photography. There, that's better.

Ok,this one should have Volvo calling me….purechamce shot. I liked the lighting but didn’t see all that beautiful interplay of light and shapes. Maybe I saw it in the reptilian brain.

If I could only chop that soul-less car out of the back….
