in my secret life

There’s just something about a nighttime view of a restaurant full of people…

Also, if you’re in Old Port and in need of a sweet treat, I can definitely vouch for the cookies from Standard Baking. On a cold day, a cookie and a coffee will turn a Regular Afternoon into an Exception Afternoon. Just like that.

shadow puppet

I made two shots of this wall; I didn’t care for the first one because it had a person’s shadow on it.

Turns out, I was wrong and could have stopped with the original image, because it was more interesting.

the on-time departure

I guess my recent frustrations with airline travel (and the fun of lots of delays) showed up when I watched the ferry to Little Diamond Island depart exactly on time. It was an amazing, unfamiliar concept.

It’s just a shame that a ferry from coastal Maine to the plains of Texas is not an actual travel option.

In the daylight, I probably wouldn’t have given this place a second look. At night, though…

the obligatory boat (Maine)

I gave myself away as being not from there because I did take a lot of photos like this. In my defense, I do see a lot more boats sitting on dry and dusty ground than I see boats in actual water. I was there (from the looks of things) to capture the novelty of it.
