February 2008
I spent two weeks at Naval Station Newport on business. There was a lot of really nice winter weather but unfortunately, the only day I had free to go out and take photos it was pretty gray. However, I made the most of it, braved the ice-covered roads and sidewalks and wound up with a few good shots.
