I had a photographically productive day yesterday.
I went to the beach… in December… in New Hampshire!
I left the house before six yesterday morning and headed east taking NH101 from Manchester. NH101 intersects1A at the coast in Hampton. From there I headed north, eventually getting as far as the southern limit of Portsmouth on route 1B. I then headed back south getting as far as Salisbury, MA. Hoping to avoid rush hour in Manchester on the way home, I headed west again at about 2:30 PM.
Of course, I made many stops to photograph along the way.
I know, it is a bit odd to head to the beach in December, but I have had it in my head to try and communicate the desolation of a summer tourist destination in the winter. I’m not sure that I have succeeded, but I had fun!

Like the color grabs – an interesting look into Americana. As for the B&W. stunning as usual. I’m jealous of the weather vane. I don’t have that one in my collection 🙁
Congrats on getting out there and shooting. I’m still delivering Christmas gifts until 12/22, or so.
