Harry's Corner

Early morning in April, on the boardwalk at Wildwood, NJ.

Goodrich River Delta

On a trip to Cape May back in April, I did a double-take as I passed through Elmer, NJ. Doubling back a few hundred yards later, I stopped in front of Fred Harz & Son, a full-service tire dealer.

Mr. Harz and progeny must have known a crazy photographer would be passing through that Saturday, as they had a neat stack of imposing, giant tires, treads nicely whitewashed, in front of their place. The old black tires, whitewashed stripes, and strong midday sun cried out for some photo-fun. I got several good views of parts of the stack, all with my pocket-sized Canon S90, and I'll put up some of the others over the next few blog posts.

Meanwhile, here's my favorite. The zigzagging channels reminded me of a river delta, hence the title of this post.

For those who are wondering, here's the "civilian" view of what I was shooting at.

Cape May Gingerbread

At the opposite, southern end of the Jersey Shore from Sandy Hook, Cape May is a sparkling resort town full of victorian gingerbread houses like this one. In fact, this particular house is a bed & breakfast called "The Gingerbread."

Because Cape May sticks out at the very southern end of New Jersey like an appendix, you can photograph both sunrises and sunsets over the Atlantic.

Well, technically, the sunset is over Delaware Bay, but I won't tell if you won't.
