I had a chance to talk with Harry Hine at length yesterday about the Cape Neddick piece. He is very disappointed with the photo, but the day after the photo was shot, he was off to China and didn't see it until he got back.

He is very enthusiastic about the piece.

They've rephotographed it and he promises to send me the new photo. He said it is definitely one of those pieces that you're going to have to see in person and examine in detail to appreciate it.

Since it's not scheduled to ship until September, you're going to have to wait a bit. But by October, you'll be thiking 'Christmas' -- and the appearance of Cape Neddick all decked out for Christmas, just might appeal to more people -- including many locals -- more than it would in the middle of summer.

The 'blue water' isn't nearly as 'electric blue' as it appears in the photo, Harry says.
