Oh my goodness, where has summer gone!
Pick #1 Strandbeest at Crane’s Beach
I first saw Theo Jansen’s amazing creations on-line a couple of years ago and shared them with my students. So unbelievably cool…and so excellent to have the opportunity to see them in “person.”

We are actually planning on heading to the Rose Kennedy Greenway to see Strandbeest next week, but Crane’s Beach this weekend is a fantastic option!
Pick #2 Antique and Classic Boat Festival, Salem
The flash of polished bronze and gleam of varnished wood across the water will be the order of the day as elegant antique and classic yachts sail into the host city of Salem, Massachusetts for the 33nd Annual Antique & Classic Boat Festival August 22-23, 2015. Mostly wood, primarily private yachts and aesthetically stunning, the vessels will be on display to the public over the weekend at Brewer Hawthorne Cove Marina. A hallmark of the Festival is the great variety of craft exhibited. “Where else,” says Pat Wells, Coordinator, “can one see 1900s-60s motor yachts, mahogany speedboats, sloops, yawls, schooners and a 19th century gold-leaf canoe! Although many of these craft are museum quality, they are real boats in the water and in use by their owners today.”

Good Morning Gloucester 
OMG! I have been waiting for the Strandbeast exhibit for over 6months now!
I can’t believe an kinetic artist of this kind is in our “back yard” – ie not a country away.
BTW: your link closes after a few minutes. Too much publicity….
Love your posts!
