Cape Cod Sunset

High Resolution Images

Did you know that you can get any of my images at much higher resolution than what is shown below? Images shown on my blog are saved at 900 by YYY pixels (where 900 is horizontal and YYY is vertical – varies depending on the image composition). You can go to my photo gallery and save it at 1600 by ZZZ pixel resolution. It is much better quality for majority of the modern desktops – it will cover entire screen on your laptop or flat screen. All you need to do is to go to my Photo Gallery, click on the image you like, then click on the X3 right above it. Then you can right click on the image and save it to your desktop. I do not put any watermarks so you can enjoy it without any silly distractions. BTW, if you like my images – tell your friends and family, they might like it too!

You can do this for your personal use only. No commercial (aka for your profit) use of the images is allowed without my explicit permission.

Oh, It Was So Windy!

Last year I was on a short visit to Boston and decided to drive to Cape Cod and see what is the all buzz is about. I grossly miscalculated timing and barely made to Provincetown to catch this sunset, arrived there maybe about ten minutes before it all ended. And it was oh so darn cold and windy, blowing from the west straight into my face. I took a few photos with my wide angle lens before it got sputtered by the wind with elements coming off the snow and the water. I had to get back to the car and change lenses to get the final shot. It was probably the shortest visit to Cape Cod seashore in its history.

Boston Court House

A few days back I shared with you “Ghosts are Sailing to Boston” photo, showing Boston downtown. While looking at downtown from the same spot and turning to your left you’ll see this building. US Federal Court House, I believe specializing in Naval affairs. If I remember it right it was designed to resemble some type of naval instrument.

Just a reminder that if you want to see this photo in higher resolution then all you have to do is to click on it. It will open in my Photo Gallery. Also, if you want to see more photos from Boston or some other interesting place then explorer Categories on the right side. Every post is categorized by the place it was taken at and you can easily navigate around it. Up to date I have almost 300 photos on this site – a lot to look at.

Harvard Square

This is where very smart people get their education, or smart people with a lot of very good connections, or maybe somewhat average on IQ scale but with lots and lots of $ and good connections, or maybe all above. I heard that about 30-50% of the current student body is related or somehow affiliated with Harvard alumni’s. 

It was interesting to see all these chairs spread around the lawn. They encourage people to sit and talk to each other. I wonder if this is normal mode of operation at Harvard Square or they only put it out during weekends or some specific occasions. We were there on a Saturday and it was packed with tourists, Chinese mostly, I must mention. As I as walking around the campus I kind of realized that it didn’t click with me, it didn’t feel cozy or impressive, or like a place where I’d want to spend four years of my life (if hypothetically my life was different and I had a chance to come and study here) – maybe it is because of all those tourists! It didn’t feel like university campus, more like some kind of tourist attraction.

Burn, Sweetie Burn

It is about that time of the year to pay tribute to anything spooky, witchy, dark and evil. A lot of kids will dress up like little monsters and witches. Thankfully we live in a society that will not do any harm to you for dressing like a witch. But just back a few hundred years ago they took it a bit too seriously and actually burned them alive, or so the history tells us.

Ghosts are Sailing to Boston

Dmitrii5 Comments

Last weekend I went to see my daughter at Andover and we ended up eating in Boston every night of our visit to Massachusetts. Every night in Chinatown. Good food. Chinatown is not very interesting from photography point of view, at least I didn’t see any good views or cool looking buildings. So we went to the harbor to take some pictures. Both nights. Didn’t have a good sunset on either one of them, so it was a bit disappointing, but I still managed to take a few photos that I think are cool to share with ya all folks out there. Here is one of them.
