kannafoot > January 22, 2009ProcrastinationOkay, I confess... This is a "safety shot". I ended up in non-stop meetings today and wasn't able to get out at lunch for a photo. On my way home I spotted this house that still had Christmas wreaths up in the windows and decided it would make a suitable enough subject. There's certainly nothing striking about the photo, but it does give me the opportunity to comment on the odd practice around here of leaving Christmas decorations up until, well, next Christmas!Providence, Rhode Island
kannafoot > January 30, 2009Clear the Runway!I stopped over at Sabin Point at lunch today and there were a handful of ring-billed gulls playing a fun game of musical pilings on the docks here. They were constantly flying up and forcing the others to leave whatever piling they were on. It was amusing to watch and made for a nice photograph.Sabin Point ParkEast Providence, Rhode Island
kannafoot > January 31, 2009Stone-EnderThis historic home is the Eleazer Arnold House, built in 1693 for - you guessed it - Eleazer Arnold. It's located in the Great Road Historic District near the Lincoln and Cumberland line. The house is known as a "stone-ender" since the entire chimney side of the house is made of stone. It's a style typical of Western England in the 17th century and was popular in Rhode Island during that same colonial period.Eleazer Arnold HouseBuilt 1693Lincoln, Rhode Island
kannafoot > April 14, 2009Mill HistoryThis worn building in the historic village of Slatersville was built in 1897 and served as the home of the Union Grange Patrons of Husbandry from 1913 until 1994. It is now owned by the North Smithfield Heritage Association. Hopefully, there's some budget to maintain this beautiful structure.Heritage HallNorth Smithfield, Rhode Island
kannafoot > January 19, 2009Still WatersI went out to Little Compton today to photograph the Sakonnet Point Light House. The sky and water were both an ugly gray monochrome and I really wasn't sure I'd be pleased with the results. On my way back I spotted this long dock sticking out from the Sakonnet Yacht Club pointing across the inlet in Rhode Island Sound to yet another private yacht club near the Point. The water was perfectly calm and a very nice deep shade of blue, so I opted to take it as a "safety shot". It was a good plan. The lighthouse was indeed rather blah, and I fell in love with the blue tones in this photograph. Expect to see a lot more from Tiverton and Little Compton as the year progresses. There were dozens of very interesting photo subjects along scenic Route 77, so I'll be visiting that area often.Sakonnet Point Yachting ClubLittle Compton, Rhode Island
kannafoot > January 15, 2009Industrial SunsetThis beautiful sunset managed to coincide perfectly with my commute home from work today. I stopped at this small pullout along Veteran's Parkway to photograph the setting sun across Watchamocket Cove. The line of snow in the distance is the East Bay Bike Path, part of the national Rails to Trails program. Just beyond the bike path across the Seekonk River is the Port of Providence. I thought this foreground tree would make a great silhouette against the setting sun.Watchamocket CoveEast Providence, Rhode Island
kannafoot > January 06, 2009A Fixer-UpperIt doesn't look like this shell of a boat will be sailing anyplace soon. I stopped at the Waterfront Park this afternoon on my way home from work and spotted this gem lying half-submerged in the river. The bridge in the background is I-195 connecting Providence to East Providence. That bridge is extremely photogenic at night, so there will be several shots to that effect later this year. All of the post-processing was done in Photoshop Elements v7.0.John L. Lewis Waterfront ParkEast Providence, Rhode Island
kannafoot > January 04, 2009SilosThis farm with its twin silos is on Breakneck Hill Road in Lincoln. There are a string of buildings along this road dating back as far as the 17th Century, although this farm is one of the newer additions.Lincoln, Rhode Island
kannafoot > March 26, 2009Karma Karma Karma Chameleon...Oh, wait. That was Culture CLUB, not Culture Hut! My bad. Sorry if that song is stuck in your head, now... Anyway, I see this building on my way to work every morning and all it reminds of of is that really bad song from the 80s. It does make a nice photo, though.Culture HutProvidence, Rhode Island
