This summer I had the pleasure of visiting Star Island for the first time. I felt like I had gone back in time. Such a beautiful and simple place. One of the prettiest sights is the simple stone meetinghouse or chapel, built in 1800. The chapel served the islanders as a chapel, schoolhouse, town meeting hall, courthouse, and even as a storehouse.

Today they still have candlelight services that are a cherished Star Island tradition. At the close of each day, Shoalers gather at the foot of the hill and form a procession, carrying candle lanterns as the villagers of long ago carried their whale-oil lamps up the same winding path to the meetinghouse. Once in the chapel the lanterns are hung on the walls and provide the only source of light.

I am a true New Englander and I love to photograph and capture the incredible beauty of this area. I love everything to do with nature and animals. It all brings me much joy and I love bringing it inside my home with my photographs and I hope to share this with you.
