Great Opportunity

[dugmar]

I got a call last night to help move a boat from Newburyport to Boston Harbor. I am leaving right now, 6AM. Everything is charged up and all the memory cards are all empty. I will see what I can come home with, its about a 6 hour trip.

Catch you guys later, hopefully with some good stuff.

Those are great photos, Dugmar! I saw the airplane shot on the Challenge, I thought.

But some of these, well, for instance, that shot of the bird going horizontally, guess that is how birds do it :D . Anyway, I love that one, and many more are great also.

Wish I were there, smile.

Wish I were there, smile.Thanks very much. I did enter the airplane one in the challenge. I had the challenge in mind while on the trip, and I really wanted to enter a Boston City Scape in honor of the World Champion Boston Red Sox! So there you go.

Great series Doug, thanks for posting them! I like 'em all, but especially the tug with Boston in the background. Must have been a fun trip, even if a bit cold.

It was 74 degrees yesterday. It was a perfect day for a cruise.
