Hampton's Portfolio 4, Meadow Lane, Southampton

Meadow Lane, the most expensive and beautiful strip of land anywhere, or at least right up there. The beaches on Meadow Lane are some of the most scenic in the world and I would enjoy having my lunch break there. I'll never forget one encounter I had where I was walking from the beach (Dune Beach) to my car on the scrub pine lined boardwalk (which is about a couple hundred feet long) and I was passing a mother and her young son who must have been about 8-10 years old, well dressed  sporting a tie and well groomed, as he approached me he said "Good day Sir" and I responded "Good day to you too." I got in my car and said to myself "What just happened there?" I thought that was odd such a young person acting so proper...call me a cynic but that's just not common behavior these days... maybe I momentarily time traveled to a different time and place. Anyway enjoy the photos and the artistic license below...

Pic of the Week

"Danish writer Mikael Wulff and cartoon artist Anders Morgenthaler – the creative duo known as Wumo – has created a brilliant series of graphs that illustrate some of the basic painful truths of everyday life in the Western world."

Too funny...
