I set out today to meet my daughter Patty and to find the beauty in a rainy day.
Patty with her cheery umbrella…
Chatting over tea and coffee …
All of a sudden we could see sunshine…
So out we went to walk around Lafayette Village for a bit…
On the way home the skies darkened…
By the time I got home it was doing this…
Since I didn’t want to get drenched I sat in the car and took some pictures …
Success… I found what I was looking for

Took some of my Vineyard church photographs and ‘posterized’ them.

PS – I came across this picture in one of my mother’s photo albums – just out of curiosity, does anyone remember the Providence House that was in the Campground until the 1960′s when it burned down? It was located near the arcade entrance. Here’s a picture from the early 1900′s. My mother’s step family owned it… I believe the name was Knoop?
I took these pictures of the Federated Church in Edgartown in May one evening around 6pm. The light through the windows was at a perfect angle to illuminate the inside of the church with a warm golden glow.
“This 1828 meetinghouse, on the corner of South Summer and Cooke streets, is the oldest church building in its original location still used for worship on the Vineyard and has had few changes made. It features box pews; graceful woodwork; a Hook and Hastings organ, which was installed in 1895 in a case built in 1840 by Ebenezer Goodrich, and restored in 1985; a handsome chandelier which originally burned whale oil; and an 1853 Ingraham clock. The sanctuary, which is acoustically ideal, seats nearly 400 persons within 40 feet of the pulpit. The building is inspirational, a tribute to its designer.”
