Happy Fourth

Happy Fourth of July on the third.

Here are a few pictures of a photo trip I took to George's Island and Fort Warren in Boston Harbor last weekend.  Aside from defending the harbor, Fort Warren had many uses including a prisoner of war encampment during the Civil War.  It is now used for recreation, one of the many nice things happened as a result of the Big Dig.

MFA and Me

I went to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston ahead of the impending snow storm.  We got out just in time.  I enjoyed the time and I got over my fear of using ISOs above 800.  Even though we saw a very small part of the museum, we managed to see some of the highlights.

A very cool seat

The MFA has an amazing Egyptian collection

I love this painting

A John Singer Sargent.  Those are the actual vases as in the picture.
