BACK TO PHOTOS

Newport, Rhode Island February 2008 I spent a two weeks at Naval 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 out. However, I made the most of it and braved the ice-covered roads and sidewalks and wound up with a few good shots.
