Capt Cass

One of the things I love about Cape Cod is the sense of history here. I'm pretty sure this building looks the same today as it did 40 or 50 years ago. It's a seasonal seafood restaurant down at Rock Harbor. I've tried to shoot it before because it is iconic Cape Cod, but there is no way to actually capture it without the powerlines getting in the way.
Great photo! I love old Capes. The reflection in the puddle is awesome

It's a great Rock Harbor photo anyway, Laurie. It's almost impossible to capture anything with today's power lines everywhere. I have that same problem here, but sometimes you just gotta' take the picture anyway. You are keeping me connected to some of my favorite places, and I love you for it, as always....

That looks like such a neat place! I've tried to find fun ways to capture buildings without power lines, too. So frustrating! Don't they know we're trying to get a good picture here? :) But I think you captured it well!

Nice shot Laurie! I had to google it. I don't think I have ever been to Rock Harbor.

It does look vintage,and I would say it porobably hasn't changed much at all over the years. It's a lovely old home / business

Love all the floats hanging on the side - nice shot!

Nice capture. I had the same problem with power lines several times. I think are photography's curse.

Awesome shot of Capt Cass's building. Are they open for lunch or dinner?
October 30th, 2011  
wonderful shot, Laurie and I love the sepia; really gives you that historical feeling!
October 30th, 2011  
Cool shot and tone!

Yes this looks like a classic Cape Cod shot. I am sure it must be a great place to eat. You did a nice job with this shot. I know that powerlines can be frustrating at times when you are trying to get just the perfect shot

It is exactly Cape Cod, love it, and you and Cape Cod!
October 30th, 2011  
Love these original classics! Well shot.

it's cool when a place has it's own distinct feel and style. cape cod is one of those places. what a great pic to show that off.

Very cool and classic Cape Cod building. I hate the power lines too.
Sometimes I don't take the pic because of the lines, but I guess there is
nothing we can do about it. I didn't even notice them in your pic.

@karens68 Rock Harbor is one of my go to places when I want to take a photo. It's were all the charter boats in Orleans are docked. You must check it out sometime.

@sarasdadandmom Oh Rick, I would love to meet you! Unfortunately Maryland is quite a hike. I live two hours south of Boston and about five hours north of NYC. If you are ever in New England, please let me know!

great image, what a fab building

A very cool looking building--I love older houses

I think you've captured the spirit of Cape Cod perfectly. I see this type of architectural style every now and then down here, and I always think Cape Cod when I see it.

love the black and white - it works so well with the vintage-y feel of the building. this shot could be 40-50 years old - so cool.

It is a lovely building. I also love the wet foreground. It adds character to the shot. Nice one.
