Same flight, 34 minutes further south, pretty close now to Cox.

Early morning just about a month ago from my lovely balcony at home. If all works out with flights and weather, I might see roughly the view after I wake up at home on Saturday morning, though moon is already waning a bit. 🙂

Getting close to the Bay of Bengal on last week’s flight from Dhaka down to Cox.

If there’s snow on them in the desert in May, then they’re mountains. 🙂 Probably Utah, but maybe Nevada, still from that SF->Pittsburgh flight in May. Hoping for clear skies en route home to see interesting mountain views (such as this) along the way during my daytime return flights, or we’ll have to let this series go dormant ’til whenever I next get close enough to photograph something I can call a mountain…

Longest Beach.35

After a few days in Ukhiya, I made it back to Cox this morning with a sufficient morning break from the constant rain to make a beach walk appealing. It felt extra poignant for me, since those who’ve followed these pages for a while will remember that “Longest Beach” was the very first series and the first time I committed to daily posts for a period of time. That first post went up in early January, 2019. Daily posts became more regular the following year as a motivation to get out and about in Dhaka, especially during our covid lockdown months, introducing series I’ve carried forward with a certain consistency in the subsequent years.
Today’s walk – and this post – I’ve dedicated in my heart to Lyn Kimball, a family friend who first taught me and my brothers some of the arts of beach-combing during summer weeks in Maine many decades ago when we were boys. We received word this week that she’s passed, so I share these photos in loving memory and appreciation of the passion for exploration and enjoyment that she shared with us.
