1969 WOODSTOCK FESTIVAL OF MUSIC & PEACE PHOTOGRAPHS by Elizabeth Enfield
June 1-30,2019 – Open 7 days all week!
In 1969, Elizabeth Enfield, art teacher in New York City, was director of a summer photography program for teenagers. One of her staff had 2 press passes for the Woodstock Peace and Music Festival in White Lake, New York.
Fifty years ago, Max Yasgur happily rented his farm for 40,000 people. The event rose to 450,000 attendees in total, shown by a shot taken from a helicopter above the crowd, and published in the New York Times front page. The show ran 24 hours a day from Friday August 15th until Monday August 18th when a late coming performer gave the remaining 35,000 people a ‘Grand Finale’!
The exhibition in the Lobby Hallway of the Addison Gilbert Hospital June 7th to 30th, 2019, is avaliable for viewing all day, for your pleasure. Portraits include photos of Ravi Shankar, Janis Joplin, Santana and Grace Slick.The crowd is seen watching in rain and sun and camping in the field covered with mud and water. Some are sittting on the light and speaker structures around the field. Out of food, offered by the “pig farm” who volunteered their services to the crowd.
Listen to the CD the “TAKING WOODSTOCK”, audio, written by Elliot Teichberg

This serves as a nice little reminder to Boston fans traveling through Logan Airport….and maybe a little dig to those non-Boston sports fans who have the nerve to visit our city.





It’s so pretty down on Rocky Neck. Mother Nature and residents do a wonderful job making it even prettier.

A grand Great Egret has been hanging out at the Good Harbor Beach marsh. He has been dining on small fish mostly. The photos are from Sunday but I didn’t spot him either yesterday or today; perhaps he has moved on.

The long breeding plumes are called aigrettes.
Cape Ann is part of the Great Egrets breeding range, particularly House Island. This Egret is in full breeding plumage, advertising to a potential mate how fit and desirable he is to other Great Egrets. These same beautiful feathers, and humanity’s indiscriminate killing of, are what caused the bird to become nearly extinct. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the long breeding plumes, called aigrettes, of many species of herons and egrets were prized as fashion accessories to adorn women’s hats. Thanks to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, it is illegal to hunt or harm in any way gorgeous birds such as the Great Egret, and egrets and herons are making a comeback.
Fine dining in the marsh
