Labor Day the" unofficial end of summer"

[MSnowy]

Around here Labor Day pretty much marks the end of summer. All the summer residents move out, tourism slows and life starts to slow down.

I for one welcome the departure of tourists. Economic benefits aside it means I can finally visit the coast and lakes in peace.

Oh nice pic btw.

I like this shot. I like your chosen DOF. The empty boat, quiet shoreline - all correspond with your comments about summer's "official" end. Nice!

Yeah...it is a pretty lonely, desolate look scene. It's weird...I always feel a bit of bittersweetness on Labor Day, as summer winds to a close.

I heard on TV that Labor Day (actually September 1) also marks the beginning of meteorological autumn. As opposed to the astronomical equinox.

That be Scituate Lighthouse me thinks. Nice shot.
I'd like to see the boat a bit closer to the bottom of the frame, but often not much you can do about that.

I really like this picture. It conveys the feeling well.

With that being said, BRING ON FALL! I can't wait for summer to be really and truly over.

I like the shot. If that were my local body of water that would be a wall hanger for me

Nice shot. I too like the tourists leaving after Labor Day but our summer won't end till Halloween.
By the way I don't like summer. Can't wait for the cool lovely winter.
