Photos

Here you'll find all sorts of pictures of trips, friends, and other stuff.

Some of this is just pointers to pages from the old BLKK site, so the formatting isn't consistent, but regenerating all the pages would have been just too painful!

There is a link at the top of each page that will take you back to the home page, or use the browser's back button to get back here.

Picture pages for various random, but timeless, subjects.

Pix 2007

Update 2020 - This page got revised after I noticed that most of the links were dead due to the death of picasaweb]

[I've started using Google for pictures (PicasaWeb) and video (video.google.com). Highly recommended for ease of use and functionality. Price (free) is also right.

The most recent photos are presented on the blkk site again using the tool I've been using for site development (sandvox).

The photo albums are mostly at picasaweb.google.com/littauer.

There are also a few movies at the bottom.

Pix 2006

Ben did a lot of traveling for Cisco in the early part of the year. There are for photos from Belgium and London.

Ben and Kathy went sailing in the BVI with the four Winns during their kids' spring break. Always a great trip, as you can see from the photos.

Ben went down to Manchester, CT for his friend David's 40th birthday party (he's such a child). Stayed the night to avoid driving back late to Boston, and the next morning he and David did this 25 mile ride down to the Connecticut River and back. Start is at the top right. The spur toward Rocky Hill was to go see the ferry across the river there.

Winchester-Burlington

Another fine weekend day in Boston (surrounded by rainy days). Kathy and Ben did a 30 mile ride down the bike path through Lexington and Arlington, looping around Mystic Lakes, then up through Winchester and Woburn past Horn Pond. Through Burlington and up the Middlesex Turnpike to Nutting Lake in Billerica, then back home, stopping for iced tea at Téa's Tea on Great Road in Bedford. A pleasant ending to a beautiful ride.

Boxford-Topsfield-Ipswich

Bedford has a "one book, one Bedford" program, and this year the book was "The Orchard" by Adele Crockett Robertson. This is a memoir of Adele's attempts to save the family house and orchard during the depression. We both enjoyed the book and decided to see the house. Ben mapped out a route from Stiles Pond in Boxford. While the route looked like 33 miles on Google maps, it ended up being nearly 40. But the weather was beautiful most of the way (we had threatening skies, but no rain, for the last hour or so), and we had a nice fish & rings lunch in Ipswich. And, of course, we saw the house.

Merrimack River

Ben took his first longish ride since the Italy trip from Chelmsford (lower left) through Lowell, Dracut, Methuen, and Lawrence and back. Mostly flat, though some rolling hills on the southern side of the river. 28 miles, average speed 16mph.

Charles River

Today's ride may be the last before the trip for Ben. Rode along the Paul Dudley White bike path from behind the Arsenal Mall in Watertown, down to the Museum of Science in Cambridge, back up the Boston side to Watertown Square, then back to the car. A total of about 17 flat miles.

Bedford - Carlisle - Westford

Ben rode out to meet Kathy at her work on Monday. Went a little jog (the eastern part of the loop above) on the way to Fortress in Westford. Total length only 23 miles. Kathy has been riding to work in the morning and back in the evening.

Bedford - Arlington - Belmont - Lincoln - Carlisle

Still training for the Venice to Florence trip, Ben and Kathy set out for a 30 mile ride, but ended up going farther: 44 miles (70km). It was an absolutely gorgeous day around Boston. A little warm, but no complaints! Went through a lot of water and needed to remember to hit the power bars every hour or so to avoid "bonkage" on the hills.
