"Brelli" in hand, this man is taking a rainy day stroll on Spectacle Island . . . I can help but think of that song that Gene Kelly made famous. Long Island Bridge in Quincy Bay can just barely be seen through the fog.

Long Island Head Lighthouse
The Long Island Head Lighthouse is a challenge to capture a good photo of. You have to capture it by boat because it is is inaccessible to the public by land. The present lighthouse, owned by the National Park Service, was built in 1901 and converted to solar in 1985. The first lighthouse went into service here on October 9, 1819.
In 1976, during our country's bicentennial celebration, I had the good fortune of photographing the Tall Ships from the top of this lighthouse. The island was opened to Quincy residents and thousands made the trek across Long Island bridge to view the sailing wonders.
Happy Monochrome Monday!

Through the Fog
[click image to enlarge]
What a treat to see fog roll into the Quincy Bay and saltmarsh areas like it did this week. If you enlarge this image you can just make out the roof of the boathouse on Blacks Creek. It's amazing how large the sun looked through the fog. This is my contribution to Skywatch Friday. Click here for more skies from around the world.

The Hummock
[click image to enlarge]
The small tree covered hill you see in Quincy Bay is called the Moswetuset Hummock. The name Moswetuset means roughly "house of the great chief". The great chief was Chicataubut and around 1620, he moved his people to this hummock to get away from the plague and other diseases such as small pox that killed about 90% of New England Indians.

Water Police

It's nice to know that our police are keeping our 27 miles of coast secure even in the wintertime.
