Scenes around Greenport, NY

This next set of pics are from around Greenport, NY, and include also Orient, Southold and other areas.

This anchor belonged to the Commodore, which sank in Long Island Sound on Dec. 27, 1866. It is now on display outside the Horton Point Lighthouse, located in Southhold, NY.

The Margaret Rose I think is a fishing boat. It was tied up at the dock in Greenport, NY.

This shot was taken early one morning with the light from the sunrise illuminating the horses. 

A new condo development in Greenport, NY gets bathed in light early one morning. 

Adirondak chairs are lined up overlooking a quiet harbor in Greenport, NY.

This was part of a set of custom made driveway entry lights, located along a quiet street in Greenport, NY. 

One rule of photography is to always look behind you. I had been shooting a sunrise shot, and while waiting for the light to change a little, I turned around and saw how great this looked glowing with the early morning light. Needless to say, this turned out better than the sunrise shots I had first been focusing on. 

This was hung on the front door of the Orient Congregational church in Orient, NY. I loved how it was hung using only a paperclip.

Not sure why the diner located on the corner in Greenport is called the Coronet, but has only this sign hanging outside. 

I liked how this black light fixture contrasted with the colorful house in the background. 

This totaly reminded me of a scene that one would see in the midwest or maybe somewhere in New England. The rockers, the hanging plant, the ornamental posts to the porch, it all made such a perfect scene - and how can I leave out the wooden screen door. 

This shot is actually not a black and white photo. It just happened that the house was only painted in white, with all of the hardware in black. George Washington stopped at this house (Webb House) in 1757. 

A low angle shot of the Orient Congregational church located in Orient, NY on Long Island's Northfork. I realy like the perspective and how the sky looked in this shot. 

Here is another instance of what americana means for me. The flag hanging off the porch with the old chair and a basket of flowers by the front door.
