The town line with Norwell, where Clapp Road becomes Mt. Hope Street.
A bit of explanation for newer readers –
Scituate is a beautiful town and I love trying to capture some fraction of that beauty in this daily photo project. However, I also make an effort to capture mundane details – because what strikes me in going through old newspapers, memoirs and postcards is how much those mundane details mean years down the line. I see a sepia-toned photograph of the intersection of Country Way and First Parish and compare the trees with the current day’s traffic lights; I find a tattered postcard of Minot Beach and try to my daughter’s favorite starfish hunting spots behind the smiling strangers in their old-fashioned swimming costumes.
Locals and” ex-pats” – what mundane details do you think matter? What simple sights should not be overlooked?
One mundane detail that I wish never went away was the old Mass. green trailblazer signs with the cut corners.
I know! It’s all so generic these days, the signs… I prefer a little character.
