Here you see Great Cove Drive extending to infinity with the empaneled WoodenBoat School boatshed sunbathing alongside. Great Cove is at this end of the Drive, behind the camera about 50 feet. The panels on the shed are removed in May when the beauties sleeping therein are awakened and prepared for their summer jobs in the Cove. Some peeping Toms like to look in the shed’s end windows during the winter and admire the uncovered beauties therein:

By telling you this, of course, I’m reminded of Lady Godiva (not Gaga), who was responsible for the coining of the term “peeping Tom.” Remember the tale of beautiful Lady G? She rode naked through Coventry to protest taxes while everyone was supposed to avert their eyes. But, poor Tom the tailor (understandably) couldn’t resist a peek and was struck dead (or blind in the more forgiving versions). The peeper who took the images here survived without incident, I’m happy to report.
