Thanks for all your comments on yesterday's "Almost home".  Many commented on the warm tones.  I'd love to take creative credit for that, but that golden hue was the result of shooting in the light of what I think was an uncommon type of street lamp, using auto-WB.  I started to correct the tones in PP but decided it looked better that way.  That's what I'll call a "happy accident!"

Thanks for all the comments on yesterday's "traffic".  No, not my collection, but those cars were all on sale at a kiosk in Boston.  I couldn't help but think of the morning commute!

Thank you all for the comments on yesterday's "pencil sharpener".  The orange color was a reflection from a stack of construction paper that stood to the left of the sharpener.
Ed Spadoni > H.A. Hovey Co.
2/4/2010

These signs are hung inside the Great Rotunda of Faneuil Hall Marketplace in Boston.  I did some research of H.A. Hovey Co. and found:

The earliest reference I found was of Horatio Atwell Hovey who was born in 1820 and "worked for several years in the butter trade in his father's stall in the Faneuil Hall market... and at 21 became a partner with his father."  [Google Books]

The latest reference was this:

Varnum Russell Mead, retired owner of H. A. Hovey Co. of Boston and Cambridge, died Dec. 18 [2006] after suffering a fall near his home on Martha's Vineyard.  Following World War II, Mr. Mead went into business with his late father, Francis V. Mead, at H.A. Hovey Co. located next door to Durgin Park in the Quincy Market.  Mr. Mead sold his business and retired in 1984.  [The Martha's Vineyard Times, posted Dec. 18, 2006.]

We spent this past weekend in Freeport, Maine, and naturally, visited LL Bean.  These shots are from their indoor aquarium, which is quite a site to see.  The exterior of the aquarium can be seen here:  http://bit.ly/9b5K3l
More images from Freeport will be presented here over the next several days.
