Sunrise at Manomet Point

Sunrise at Manomet Point in Plymouth, MA. I’ve visited this location in the past but didn’t get a chance to explore the area below. A “No Trespassing” sign had been posted nearby. On this visit, I noticed the sign was gone. The path leading down looked significantly improved, possibly explaining the reason for the sign’s…

Autumn Reflections at Cleveland Pond

Beautiful autumn reflections on Cleveland Pond in Ames Nowell State Park in Abington, MA. I arrived a bit later than usual; the sunshine would have enhanced the colors of the trees, but nonetheless, the autumn colors still shone through.
