Recent Happenings — pat morss

We recently attended the first annual Rocky Neck Winter Fest, and the opening of Our Time on Earth at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem.

Rocky Neck, and Smith Cove which it protects, are in winter mode.
Adventure remains at the Marine Railways, now sporting her new propeller and rudder.
No, she doesn’t have a new wheelhouse.
That’s the tug Meridian, beyond.
As part of Winter Fest, multiple artists were sketching portraits at The Cultural Center.
Headquarters appears to be at The Salted Cod – if you can find and open the door.
It houses an excellent selection of local art, crafts and jewelry, and is open all winter.
With an ideal pairing of light food and drinks (sample the flatbreads and wines).
Outside, the flooding high tide reminds us of the impact of climate change.
That takes us to the opening of a current traveling exhibit at the Peabody Essex Museum.
Our Time on Earth, curated by the Barbican in London, explores our sustainability.
This visitor is mesmerized by a cosmic video.
