I love the colors in the water. The seagulls look like they're coasting on that north wind. 2. Are you nuts?? I know that place. For those that don't, Hull, Mass. is at the end of an exposed peninsula that juts out northward into the Atlantic. Jim was somewhere in the middle of the peninsula. When the wind gets going, it can cut right through you on a cold day. I see whitecaps out in the water, so it must have been blowing. That and zero degrees? Yow! I hope you found a nice warm coffee shop or "bah" afterwards. As a New Yorker might say, it ain't just the cold, it's the Winchell Factah. Now John Collier is going to chime in that that's just balmy T-shirt weather in Edmonton. And Ted Grant will reminisce about the time he photographed Eskimos hunting seals through holes in the ice on the northeastern shore of Hudson Bay at forty below--his Leicas kept right on shooting, but his companion had to do an emergency relube of his Nik*n F using whale blubber oil. . . :-) :-) :-) - --Peter, who thinks there's a Nor'Easter blowin' up, ayah. . .
