August 12, 2008. Salem, Illinois. This jet ski is one of the displays at Pollard's Collection. A buddy and I were on a road trip when we accidentally stumbled across this place. I'm not sure if it is still there, but it was definitely worth the stop.

Skate Boarding Along Side The Central Burying Grounds at Boston Commons

Image
May 31, 2017. Boston, Massachusetts. While setting up to take an image at the Central Burying Grounds, located at Boston Commons, this guy came riding through the park on his skateboard. I snapped a few shots of him in the frame, as well as a few once he had passed, and I thought the image with him skating along stood out to me more. Per the City of Boston's website, the cemetery dates from 1756. Photo © Tom Gatermann.
