Fall River Public Library
Fall River Library Hall in Narragansett BayFall River's Public Library stands as a testimony to Fall River's heyday as a wealthy manufacturing center. It's like a building that one might find tucked away in some corner of Rome or Paris. It has been recently restored and now one can stand at the front desk and let one's eye travel upwards to vaulted ceilings and richly painted walls hung with world class artwork. This photo was taken at the beginning of 2009 and is one of Aerial Vr's most v... Read Full Story
Mount Hope Bridge from Island Park
Mt Hope Bridge in Narragansett BayThe Mount Hope Bridge connects Aquidneck Island and Bristol Rhode Island. Newport lies at the southern end of Aquidneck Island. At the northern end lie the communities of Island Park and Common Fence Point where the Mount Hope Bridge comes arcing in for a touchdown. I had a great time looking for places to shoot this bridge from. Time for some personal philosophy. I think everyone should spend some time wandering around with a camera over their shoulder l...

Mount Hope Bridge from Roger Williams University
Roger Williams Dock in Narragansett BayRoger Williams University ... a good university in a great location with a very nice dock. That should be their motto if you ask me ... just say it in latin and it will sound like the wisdom of the ages instead of the blurting of a scenery junkie like me. I skulked around the campus in my mini van, ogling coeds and looking for a likely spot to shoot a picture that would include the Mount Hope Bridge. I eventually found a road that led down to the wate... Read Full Story
Pomham Rocks Lighthouse Tower
Pomham Rocks Lighthouse Tower in Narragansett BayWe took this shot in late October of 2009 after taking the short ride out to the island where the lighthouse sits in Rob's lobster boat. Rob is one of the friends of Pomham Rocks Lighthouse because he grew up there. He lived there for 2 years with his parents and sister. He could point out the spot where his mother grew tomatoes. When we climbed into the tower he told he was often sent up there to eat his lunch alone when he was naughty. H... Read Full Story
Pomham Lighthouse Flagpole
Pomham Rocks Lighthouse Flag Pole in Narragansett BayPomham Rocks Lighthouse is about as cute as they get. It is currently owned by Exxon but they've been good corporate citizens and have let the "Friends of Pomham Rocks Lighthouse" come out and spend huge amounts of money and effort to get the outside restored. They have plans to eventually purchase the lighthouse and run it as a bed and breakfast much as Rowes Island is run.I don't know about you but I'm glad that lighthouses have friends...

Crescent Park Carousel, East Providence, RI
Carousel in Narragansett BayWe took this photo of the Crescent Park Carousel in late October of 2009. It's pretty much all that's left of a famous seaside amusement park where the good people of Providence would come to play around the turn of the century. They could take a trolley from Providence out to East Providence and amuse themselves to their hearts content all summer long. It has been beautifully restored and is looked after by a father and son named Ed. (They only have one name b... Read Full Story
Durfee Highschool
Durfee High is simply put the most beautiful high school building IN THE WORLD ... bar none. I'm not an architect. I'm not even a critic of architecture. You might put up a tree house in your backyard and I might tell you it has architectural merit ... but about this I'm right. It IS the most beautiful high school building in the world and there's no debating the point with me. I've made up my mind and will go into my grave believing it. There is a problem however ... it's no longer a... Read Full Story
Return to Battleship Cove
Battleship Cove in Narragansett BayWe took this photo in early August of 2009. We'd taken several shots of Battleship Cove before but decided it was a good idea to return to Fall River's premier tourist location when the leaves were out and the grass a brilliant green. We also decided to make it into an opportunity to use our "big rig." The big rig is our 40' tripod equipped with a robotic mount and a wireless communication device. Chris ran the robot for this shot. You can even see him ... Read Full Story
Save the Bay's Vegetative Roof
Save The Bay Roof in Narragansett BayWe took this photo in mid August near the end of the day. It's not a bunker dug into a grassy hill overlooking Narragansett Bay. It's actually a high tech and beautifully designed building which houses a world class champion of green causes, namely Save the Bay. It only looks like a bunker from this angle. It's north wall is set into a grass covered berm about 10 feet high. The roof extends upwards from there and is covered with vegetation.It's an old... Read Full Story
