Tarpaulin Cove Lighthouse (Gosnold, Massachusetts) from the Celebrity Summit - Ten Night Bermuda and Charleson Cruise - May 16th, 2023 On our way to Martha's Vineyard on our first day at sea, we passed the beautiful Tarpaulin Cove Lighthouse on the morning of May 16th, 2023. The lighthouse is in Gosnold, Massachusetts on Naushon Island, one of the Elizabeth Islands that are just north of Martha's Vineyard on the Vineyard Sound. This beautiful lighthouse was first lit in 1891, replacing a light that was there previously. One of five lighthouses I saw from the Celebrity Summit on the morning of the 16th! On board the Celebrity Summit for the Ten Night Bermuda & Charleston, SC Cruise (May 15 through May 25, 2023).

Universalist Church, Marion, Massachusetts, United States Built c. 1830. Small New England coastal town. "Marion Center is a census-designated place (CDP) in the town of Marion in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, United States. The population was 1,111 at the 2010 census." - info from Wikipedia. The fall of 2022 I did my 3rd major cycling tour. I began my adventure in Montreal, Canada and finished in Savannah, GA. This tour took me through the oldest parts of Quebec and the 13 original US states. During this adventure I cycled 7,126 km over the course of 2.5 months and took more than 68,000 photos. As with my previous tours, a major focus was to photograph historic architecture. Now on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/billyd.wilson/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Instagram</a>.
