I was down in Stonington this past weekend for a funeral, and I figured it was a good chance to take some photos of the island. A few photos are of friends and the sort and others of the area. Some of them I even stopped to take.
Under the Bogwalk

Yesterday, Beth and I went to the Orono / Bangor bogwalk. It was the first time I had been (a few weeks prior Nikita and I tried going, but it was closed). It was a pretty nice walk and got some nice photos of the area! Overall, impressed!
Memorial Day 2011

Memorial Day 2011 was a fantastic day in the sun. We had gone to Ellsworth for other purposes, but they were closed, so we thought we'd make the best of it, bought some bathing suits (that's where the mannequin was), and headed to Bah Bahbah! We spent the day in the sun, swimming, snacking, and loving life! It was a pretty phenomenal day!
Winter Fright
posted by Matt
Just when you think Winter might be over, you get a crazy freak ice/wind/snow/hail/twilight zone storm in the middle of the night. On this particular night, a friend and I went to the movies and on our way back we were met with a downed tree in the road. He picked the branches out of the road, and when we got back home the parking lot was covered.
Sorrowful Fog

I wasn't totally happy with how these photos came out, they were really blurry, but it may have had something to with how intensely-crazy foggy it was. It was thick, which is why I decided to snap a few shots before going into the gym. Only one other time have I ever seen fog so thick (and it was just last month actually!).
In-Flight
posted by Matt
I was really impressed with how some of the photos of my flight coming back to Maine came out. Using a variety of filters, I think I got some really interesting in-flight photos (I may have taken some of them before in-flight electronics were approved). It’s hard to pick a favorite because they all a different attribute that makes them intriguing. I even posted some that are only slightly different because I thought the framing came out interestingly. Hope you...

A Naval Voyage
posted by Matt
While I was visiting my brother over winter break, I was able to get a tour of ship. At first, I wasn’t hugely excited, as I don’t care a ton for boats, and not super invested in the military, but actually being on the ship was more of a modern marvel type of moment than anything else (well, not super modern, but kind of). Just seeing all the equipment and devices was really interesting and I had a lot more fun than I had anticipated. The steps were crazy though – there were a lot of them, and they were super steep! Overall, it was a good experience, and got to see a few places people rarely get to see or be near! I do...
A Midnight Walk
posted by Matt
One night I just got very bored, it was a little after midnight, and I felt like going for a walk. I love going for walks at night, listening to music, and just sort of pushing out all other thoughts, enjoying the walk and the atmosphere. At night it’s really great too because there...
