This picture makes me want to sing, “On a clear day you can see forever.”
Expect it the view is blocked by more mountains!

Seen in the Explore 2010: Urban Decay on the way to Halibut Point post.

Over the weekend and on the way to Halibut Point, a State park which is primarily a granite quarry, my human got lost.  After living on Cape Ann and this being her second visit to the park you’d think she would know where to go.

Taking a left instead of a right on 127 she got back into Gloucester before she knew she was going the wrong way.  More than one helpful person gave her directions.  Some even taking time out of their campaigning to help out.  Next, HT drove by King Beach.  (Look for a post about that later this week!)   The last time she had been there was to take pictures when a dam broke and flooded the area.

Then she stopped short when she spied a great view of a breakwater.  While taking pictures of fighting fisherman she  noticed the side door to the dilapidated building was open, beckoning her inside.    Walking in HT found busted cars, busted windows, even busted floors.  Not wanting to miss any time at Halibut Park she made a note to go back  later and was on her way.

Do you have a urban exploration story you’d like to share? My human learned to bring someone else with her after she almost walked over snow covered holes in the ground.  She never would have heard the end of it.

This is part of our new Explore 2010 series.

 Wherever you are, get out and explore.

Here are a few more pictures from the natural disaster that have been shared on Flickr.

The Department for International Development of shares updated information on searches continuing for survivors.  One was of a two year old who was rescued.

What will tomorrow bring?  Probably snow.

These aren’t necessarily the best of the bunch, heck a few are drive by  or cell phone shots but it must be the tags.   And they may be low stats… but they are my top tens.  Woo hoo!

Last month while my human was neglecting me she was also neglecting her novel (no wonder she failed) and decided to snap some shots in a nearby park. After work, instead of feeding me she grabbed her point & shoot and headed out to take pictures of a partially demolished building. Did she see the gray skies? Yes. Did she bring a camera cover? No.  She doesn’t even have one unless you want to count a sandwich baggy.
