Description
Wychmere Harbor in Harwichport, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, is one of the most picturesque harbors on Cape Cod. It presents a very peaceful place to sit and soak in the view. This vantage point is from a pier reached from one of the nearby side streets with typical quaint cottages fronting the harbor. The quiet streets are a perfect place to walk early in the morning to catch a glimpse of the harbor.
Harwich is a town known for three harbors. Allen Harbor and Saquatucket Harbor are both natural harbors. But the third and most well-known Harwich harbor, Wychmere, is actually man made. This harbor was once known as Salt Pond and it had no opening to the ocean. In 1887 a channel was dug to the ocean and jetties were built. The new harbor was not named Wychmere until the mid-1920s. Wychmere can translate to "salt lake," because "Wych" is believed to come from the British "wich" meaning where salt is found, and "mere" is Scottish for lake.
I am an exhibiting artist in southwest Florida and my art has been exhibited in galleries in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina and is in collections nationwide. I create abstract photography, mixed media photo painting, acrylic mixed media, and acrylic paintings. Many would make great decorative throw pillows or shower curtains. I've even had a couple abstracts made into my personal cell phone covers. Please check out my Facebook page Doodleng Art by Sharon Eng for announcements and more information about my art.
