Claremont and Newport

Dover

This mural in Dover covers the entire side of one building, a music store in the center part of town. It depicts several typical turn of the century Dover scenes.




Dover is an old factory city, and there are lots of old, well, factories around. I took three of this one simply to play with my zoom lense, which I love doing. Sometimes I'll take pictures of random stuff really far away just to show off how awesome my zoom lense is.
I was about two blocks away, maybe three, when I shot this.




The town trolley


Policepersons on horses!

Onway Lake

That's not Onway, that's just something I saw on a backroad that I thought looked cool. I have a better version, but I'm saving it-I made a folder of what I think are my most awesomest pictures ever, and I'll be doing something else with those.

Anyway, Onway Lake is in Raymond, and used to function as the free Town Beach. My sister and I took our swimming lessons there.



It had a leech problem. I used to see the Lifeguard going out to sprinkle salt in the water.



Classes would swim out to this free floating dock and then jump off it, the goal for the littler kids was to grab onto your boogie board as you landed in the water. OF COURSE I didn't make it, and remember clearly and horrible, sinking under that murky water. The dock is gone now, but this picture shows aproximately where it used to be.



It is now a public boat launch, not a swimming beach.

Misty mountain type things- Deerfield, Manchester, Nottingham

I took this on a back road in Nottingham (well, isn't Nottingham *all* back roads?)
