Ferry Ride Home

Giant fuzzy gum-drop?

On the ferry ride home, a massive man sat outside the window where we were sitting. I couldn't resist taking his photo. He was.... monumental!

Nantucket Week on Peter's Landscape a Day Blog is over. Thanks to everyone for making it a success. If you're interested in seeing more of his work of Nantucket and other coastal areas, visit his website peterfiore.com. Cavalier Galleries in Nantucket and Greenwich, CT and Travis Gallery in New Hope, PA both have a collection of Peter's coastal paintings.

This week on L.A.D. Peter is going to be featuring a collection of barns he has been watching. Enjoy!

Downtown Nantucket

Cavalier Galleries has a beautiful space on Main Street

I don't have many photos of downtown Nantucket. This is the front of Cavalier Galleries who represent Peter's work on the Island and in Greenwich, CT. Downtown is quaint with quite a  flare and larger than I expected. We didn't spend a lot of time there -- most of the time we were exploring the uninhabited areas of the island.

There are a lot of one-way streets in town and we used our nuvi to help us get around and she always sent us down Main Street which is extremely bumpy. Here's a video Peter shot. Neither of us had ever experienced cobble stone quite like it. We laughed every time we went down it.

Endless roads to explore and get lost on

Nantucket is 50 square miles and more than 36% of it is protected land. Besides the amazing beaches, there are acres and acres of beautiful and fascinating wide open land. Sometimes I felt like we were on safari looking for the lions and zebras that never showed up.

The sun rises early on Nantucket. It's east of just about everywhere in the U.S. This is the famous lighthouse at Brandt Point, on the edge of town. It was a beautiful morning and even though I was tired, there is nothing more magical then watching the sun come up.

Rocks and shells, I love'em!
