From munghq who said….

“the retreat house shed across from Niles Pond on your way out to Braces.” with such conviction that I couldn’t argue even if it was wrong!

Congratulations,munghq!

And how did you know that?

Good morning, Niles Pond

Very busy place this morning. A feeding frenzy among the mergansers, mallards, gulls, Canada geese, and the swans. Peaceful, but busy. Time to connect with Nature!niles-3-22

Niles Pond is a designated Great Pond located on Eastern Point, accessible by Eastern Point Boulevard which is a private road. It is a freshwater pond (I thought it was an estuary) that is valuable to migratory birds, but the causeway that protects it along its eastern edge adjacent to Brace Cove is in danger of being washed out. From this causeway, is a view of Brace Rock, which was painted by Fitz H. Lane.

Does anyone know who the person in this photo is?  I’d love to get some video.  That’s a pretty nifty rig.

One of my favorite places in Gloucester to unwind – car, bike, or on foot.  —Sharon
