The photo images in Gallery 8 are from local Massachusetts area towns here on Boston's South Shore as well as one I've included from Lake Powell in Arizona. This gallery has photos from Boston that include the front of an old burial vault at the Kings Chapel Burying Ground on Tremont Street in Boston. From Cohasset Harbor there is a photo of two dinghies moored at the dock near the Cohasset Sailing Club. Edgartown on Martha's Vineyard can be seen here with two Adirondack chairs that were photographed along North Water Street in Edgartown. From Norwell, Gordon Pond can be seen the morning after a January snow had fallen. There are photos of Duxbury, Massachusetts... There is a photograph showing erosion control at Duxbury Beach, and a photo taken along Powder Point Avenue showing two row boats moored in the salt marsh during the high Spring ocean tides. Fort Revere located on Telegraph Hill in Hull is also seen within the gallery.

I was out early on a bitter cold and windy December morning at Duxbury Beach in Duxbury, Massachusetts. Just by being out here in the elements like I was today for a short while, I can see why nature can have such a devastating environmental impact on open coastal areas such as this on a 24/7 basis.
Seen here in this photo are two popular beach erosion control devices working side by side... A beach grass planting area working in conjunction with fencing... Both help in protecting the beach and helping curtail the beaches erosion by forming a barrier through means of a natural protective shield. Beach grass, a course brittle plant is highly susceptible to damage caused by humans and animals walking on and near it causing the fragile brittle blades and root system to break under the surrounding sands pressure, resulting in the plants death.

These two dinghies moored near the Cohasset Sailing Club at Cohasset Harbor had a nice subdued contrast as they floated about calmly in the water in the early morning.
