That's a few Photoshop techniques.
Christopher knows the church my pic is from. Being not the driver, I noticed this detail the first time we went to Fairhaven.
You guys' cameras must be fantastic! The quality of pictures posted here is incredible! Makes me want to get up at 5 am and get a good deal at Best Buy on a new camera! Seriously!
Wow!
So about these *orbs*? . . .

The gargoyle is probably on the Unitarian church built by Rogers- the place looks like a mini- Canterbury Cathedral. I just got a Sony Cybershot-the pix at 200 dpi resolution are incredibly clear- the file size has to be reduced a lot though- like 2 x 3 inches. Most internet pix are at 72 dpi which is why they are not nearly so clear.

Great pictures everyone!
I hadn't checked this thread recently, so I missed a lot of the Fairhaven shots. The big house with the columns was built by banker Ezekiel Sawin in 1840. It was later owned by whale oil and petroleum merchant Weston Howland. In 1920 the exterior was used for several scenes in "Down to the Sea in Ships," featuring Clara Bow in her first feature length film.
Kat's gargoyle is from the Unitarian Church.
I'm really amazed that my "tourists" remember so many details of the things they saw and heard about in town.

We remember, Chris, because your tour was a great highlight of that weekend! I had no idea what a little jewel box of Victoriana and history Fairhaven is. And- when you observe someone in the process of doing what one truly LOVES- the enthusiasm is contagious. You made history come alive for us all and we thank you for that!
My goodness Don- my PETTICOAT is showing! Or as we used to say back home, "It's snowing down south".

Here are a few from JoAnne who asked me to post for her. The shirts were quite a hit. The back says "The Game is Afoot".
And the faithful Muttoneater mascot keeping time on the Borden mantel- hours which went by all too fast.
Late Friday night we were all treated to a cellar tour by Len Rebello and took turns doing the "Lizzie Newport Chair" pose.
