The photo images in Gallery 4 are from Edgartown on Martha's Vineyard as well as some of the local area Massachusetts coastal towns here on Boston's South Shore. This gallery has photos from Cohasset, Massachusetts, where we will view the front entrance to the historic First Parish Church on Cohasset Common. This church appeared in the movie the Witches of Eastwick. In Edgartown on Martha's Vineyard we will see a photograph from the area on the Lighthouse near the Harbor showing the Mad Max Catamaran sailing past the Lighthouse. From Hanover, Massachusetts, there is a photo of the 101 year old cash register that is still in use at the Sylvester Hardware Company on Route 53. Norwell photographs include a panoramic view of the North River photographed from the boathouse along the Norris Reservation. Also from Norwell is a Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly, and another photo from the Main Street fields of a tractor and a flatbed loaded with freshly cut bales of hay. Peddocks Island has three photographs showing the old abandoned buildings that were once part of the deserted Fort Andrews Army Base. From Antietam National Battlefield in Sharpsburg, Maryland there is a photo of cannons in the corn fields along Smoketown Road.

The Mad Max Catamaran sails past the Edgartown Lighthouse in Edgartown Harbor on Martha's Vineyard off of the Massachusetts coast. Built in 1828, the original lighthouse was replaced by the current one in 1938. It was built in Ipswich and moved by barge to where it now stands at the entrance to Edgartown Harbor. The Mad Max is a charter catamaran that sails out of Edgartown Harbor.

An early morning sun illuminates the buildings and trees at the entrance to the abandoned Fort Andrews Army Base on Peddocks Island in Boston Harbor. The large building toward the rear right was the barracks for housing Italian Prisoners of War during World War II. The building in the left foreground was the Guard House. The small building to the right in front of the barracks was the Carpenter Shop. This photo was taken from the beach at Hull High School.

Antietam National Battlefield in Sharpsburg, Maryland... although peaceful, invoked eeriness as I looked out from this vantage point located on Smoketown Road. Some of the fiercest battles on September 17, 1862 were fought in this area known as the Cornfield. That day of fighting left more than 23,000 men killed, wounded, or missing-the highest amount of any single day during the entire Civil War.

The early morning May light creates subtle pastel hues on the First Parish Church, located along Main Street and Cohasset Common, in Cohasset. (The church was used in the 1987 movie, "The Witches of Eastwick".)

A very enjoyable subject to photograph. This Tiger Swallowtail butterfly was sipping nectar from a Cone flower, also known as the Echinacea Plant here in a Norwell garden.

A 101 years old and still going strong. I had heard about this old cash register at the Sylvester Company in Hanover, Massachusetts. I just had to get a photograph of it. By coincidence, the day I stopped in to visit, was on the cash registers 101st birthday. The cash register still works, and when the computers and electronic registers shut down for one reason or another, this old faithful standby of 101 years old still rings up the sales.
