Cape Cod National Seashore 50 years on

Post by GregPQ »

For those of us old enough to remember President Kennedy establishing the Cape Cod National Seashore:

They originally planned on a few hundred thousand visitors each year. Today they number in the millions.
It was beautiful on 10.2.11:

Nice place to hang out. 8) I was nine years old in 1961, but I don't really remember Kenedy doing this. Glad he did.

Really nice color rendition on the photos and good sharpness too. Your 500x355 size images have a little larger file size than my 712x400 that I just posted. Maybe you have less compression? Either way yours look best I think.
