I'm Marty Luster, a retired attorney and politician. In 2010 my wife, mother-in-law, dog and I relocated from Central NY to Gloucester. I hope my photographs and poetry(?) reflect my love for this place and her people.

Good Morning Gloucester 
Marty,
Reminds me of out west too – I love the small town one now entering and leaving on the same sign. The old water tank or a windmill in past? Dave 🙂 & Kim 🙂
Pulled this one from my files…

Marty, what is the purpose of that tower?

I believe it’s a cistern. This establishment is literally in the middle of nowhere and, at least partially, depends on rainfall for its water. I think the box on the right of the photo houses a well-head. There is a single line power line that runs along the access road to supply electricity. I don’t believe I saw any solar panels.

There is a Welsh community in Patagonia, and they still speak Welsh. Did you meet any?

I read about the Welch community before we went to Patagonia, but we didn’t meet any Welch people on the trip.

Okay, but that is “Welsh” as in from “Wales” – I am one! The other is the grape juice company. It must have been a fascinating trip.

I remember these also – southwest USA: The cattle troughs with a windmill next to it out in the middle of nowhere can be drinkable with some boiling if nothing else can cool you down not the cleanest water if in trough for a long time and not tested non- Potable, many, but doable 🙂 Dave
