The city of Melrose, Massachusetts honored the men and women who sacrificed their lives for their country this past Sunday afternoon. The event is normally held on Memorial Day itself, but was moved to Sunday this year most likely due to the rainy weather expected on Monday.
The annual tribute on the Boston Common set up by hundreds of volunteers to honor over 37,000 men and women from Massachusetts who gave their lives while serving their country.
A day off from work translated into a day trip to my current favorite photography spot: the state of Maine. The weather started off iffy, but soon changed as I head to the towns of Freeport and Phippsburg, where the beauty of Wolfe’s Neck and Popham Beach State Parks awaited me. As if the lovely locations weren’t enough, I was lucky to meet a great group of people along the way who gave me tips on new locations to track down in the future. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the photos taken on May 12th.
