New: “Harborside”

On a recent bike ride through Vineyard Haven, scouting for inspiration, I came across an old house, tucked down an alley, and crammed up next to the cinder block construction of the town’s grocery store. The old place looked abandoned, or at least neglected, and would have been easy to bike right on by. But on this morning, the rising sun illuminated the southwest facing exterior, which made the place stand out from it’s weedy, commercial, rather ugly setting. Vineyard Haven Harbor is just a couple hundred yards beyond this place, and glimpses of the blue streak of water could be seen. Beauty can be found once clutter is cleared, and attention is paid to those simple elements that make something beautiful. “Harborside” 34 x 26
