A Day in Salem, Massachusetts

Posted on the 17 September 2013 by Halinak @HalinaKema

Yesterday me and Sigurd spend the whole day in Salem, a small historical town one hour by boat outside of Boston. Salem is a world famous sea-port, a historical town also known for the Salem witch trials. As a consequence - everything in this town is centered around selling all things witchcraft related.

What we found beautiful about Salem were the old townhouses, the friendly people and especially - the light by the sea on a September evening. It was so relaxing to be there - we first then realized how much we had gotten used to the hustle and bustle of NY.
I apologize for the lack of interesting pictures. I for sure have a photographers block. Even on this trip where the surroundings were so beautiful - there were so few settings that inspired me to take a picture. I am bored of repeating my composition and I get picky if the light isn't interesting enough. Hence, no pictures of witchcraft shops and the like.
After coming home from our trip, I decided to reduce the level of everyday noise - information that I could be without, so I am signing off Facebook for a while and unsubscribing to all useless newsletters. Can you believe that we almost don't know how that feels like to be bored anymore? I think that emptiness actually is good for something. I don't know if it makes sense, but I have a hope that it can "restore" something in me.
