Last weekend we were in the town of Tepoztlan, state of Morelos. The town has a dominican church and convent dating from the 16th century. It is part of the "Ruta de los Conventos" in Morelos and Puebla. This picture is the main entrance to the church, with the huge pila bautismal in the center of the circle.

American Precision Museum, Windsor, Vermont
In Windsor, Vermont, of all places... a small town on the banks of the Connecticut River on Highway 5 North, is one of the most astonishing museums I have ever seen : The American Precision Museum. This is surely the most complete collection of machine tools in America (and probably the world) covering manufacturing and metal working techniques from the early 18oo's to the era of mass production.
The current exhibition is just a small part of the pieces in the collection, put together by a former curator of the Smithsonian Museum. The museum itself is housed in a building that was an armory during the Civil War.
I was allowed to enter the basement of the building, where the water-wheels operated. The pictures here are of the basement, a place more astonishing than the museum itself...

Vermont, Green Mountains
Last weekend we made a trip to the Green Mountains in Vermont. The initial idea was just a day trip from Boston, but it became a whole weekend. We found a place to stay in Chester (the Hugging Bear Inn) and visited Brattleboro, Hapgood Pond and the Griffith/Baker Trail (photos below). Driving Highways 5 and 12 on both sides of the Connecticut River was wonderful.

Provincetown, Cape Cod
We went whale watching while in Provincetown, Cape Cod. The day was cold and rainy, but we had the opportunity to see many whales. The tour guide counted in total 39. We could approach them with the ship and take photos like this one:
This picture is from the beach in front of Provincetown with low tide. You can walk to the other side...

Wachusett Mountains
The Wachusett Mountains are a protected forest area west of Concord, and near Princeton in Massachusetts. This picture was taken on Easter Sunday, 2009.
This photo was taken in Wachusset Reservation, Pine Hill Path, near the summit of the mountain, looking to the east, towards Boston. One can see Boston's skyline in the horizon.

Carmen riding the T
Anton took this photo while riding the subway with Carmen. I believe they were on the C Green line. Anton submitted the photo to our 2nd photo competition last weekend. It did not win, but I think it is very good. It tells a simple story, but is not simplistic. It is direct, it shows that Anton is not afraid to approach a person with the camera.

October Mountains
This is a picture of Anton jumping over water using his walking stick. The picture was taken on the 28/12 in a road leading to the October Mountains Reservation, near Lenox, in the Berkshires. That day we tried to drive into the woods. All the roads were very slippery due to ice and melting snow. In the end we decided to walk instead.
Goose Pond
After Xmas 2008 we went to the Berkshires. We had a small cabin in Lee, near Stockbridge.
Nearby is the Goose Pond. Goose Pond has a shelter for the Appalachian Trail. On the 28/12 we walked down to Goose Pond at sunrise. That day was unusually warm for the season. The Pond was covered with a mist that quickly disappeared after sunrise.
