An eye on the Back Bay

Great eye-opener this morning in the Pilot. The center-page double

truck. Wow.

Kent Treptow’s photo essay on the Back Bay and it’s absolutely

beautiful. And I think the Back Bay is so fascinating anyhow. I just

wish that he could do something like this maybe as a regular feature,

maybe on a monthly basis or something. His commentary and his

photographs are just beautiful.

Wow.

Thank you for the beautiful Upper Newport Bay photos and

commentary by photographer Kent Treptow.

I have lived alongside the bay for more than 30 years and

sometimes forget what a wonderful resource we have. Years ago, I used

to get up at the crack of dawn and walk the road along the Back Bay

from one end to the other, seeing many of the sights and sounds that

Treptow describes.

I’m inspired to get these creaky old bones up early enough to,

once again, experience our unique and wonderful treasure -- the Upper

Newport Bay.

I drive by the Back Bay almost daily, and am inspired by its

ever-changing beauty and panorama. Kent Treptow’s stunning photos

brought it to life even more. Spectacular photography.
