Provincetown – Commercial Street

Commercial Street runs about 5 km and almost parallel to the coastline of Provincetown. Both sides of the small one lane street are lined with many art galleries, shops, museums and restaurants. We didn’t step into too many of these establishments though, being contended just to walk for most of the stretch and soaking in the atmosphere.

Here’s a small selection of the hundreds of pictures I took while walking along Provincetown. Most of these below were taken using the E-PL1. Captioned where appropriate or when I can remember.:)

Flowerbeds adorn many of the inns and residences:

Provincetown also has a thriving artist colony, and many of them feature their works in small galleries along the street.

“Spank the monkey” LOL:

I think the Spank the Monkey shop was selling exotic jewellery. Another shop selling the same type of wares, but with a more ‘traditional’ storefront.:)

The Provincetown Library. They’ve got a special reading room that says “Technology-Free Zone”. No computers, no notebooks, no PDAs, no MP3 players. Heck – I don’t think you’re allowed to even fiddle with your mobile phone.:)
