An early, historical map of the Massachusetts original town of Newbury now divided into Newbury, Newburyport and West Newbury. This wonderfully nostalgic plan from an actual survey of the coastal city located on the mouth of the Merrimack River, was created and published in 1851 by Henry McIntyre of Philadelphia. Surrounding the main body of the map, a series of detailed illustrations show examples of landmark architecture of the area such as the Town Hall, J.Currier Jr Ship Yard and Merrimack House. This image has been reworked, color corrected and has a little hand blended texture.

I'm a travel photographer and photo artist. I like to explore every nook and cranny of anywhere I visit and I'm always looking out for something unusual or unique, weird and wonderful, interesting and intriguing. For me, half the challenge is in the initial taking of the photo, the looking for something that catches my attention, getting that perfect composition, but the other half is in the processing, the tweaking and twisting and the addition of a little imagination to see how much detail I can bring to the surface and hopefully let the viewer see the same as I did when I took the shot. My images have been shot here, there and everywhere, mainly in the historic cities of Europe and with the occasional one taken in my own surroundings...
