Some views of late-summer dawn over Gosport Harbor, taken from Star Island and showing both Cedar Island and a part of Smuttynose Island as well. A small celebration of the fact that at home in northern Europe, we’ve nearly reached that yearly solstice corner where the number of minutes each day on which the sun is above our horizon will start increasing again, for the next six months at least 🙂

I’ve realized I’ll never find time to sort and post all my photos from this year unless I start doing more old-style gallery posts. Those of you viewing these on phones and small screens – apologies in advance that you’ll miss some photos most likely as the display for the galleries on small screens is pretty bad. These are all from my first morning walk around the dunes at Provincetown on the day after I took the ferry out – we showed you photos from that trip in a prior post.

You’ve seen this water lily in a previous post with a different focus and frame 🙂

As you’ll have deduced, I recently spent several days exploring a few corners of Ireland, which certainly lives up to its “Emerald Isle” handle based on what I’ve seen so far. This means my over-abundance of photos to share with you has grown more, so I’ve decided I need to post more of the shots left from that glorious late-summer week on Star Island nearly three months ago. For this post, I hope / think I’ve managed to include all the shots which include the island with the lighthouse, which the map tells me is White Island State Historic Site.

We’re back on that August vacation, here back to the little seasonal village of Star Island.

Above and below the photos taken from the ferry that took me from Boston over to Provincetown in mid-August, already nearly three months ago and on a much warmer, sunnier day than any I’ve experienced here in northern Europe recently :-). Since it was my very first time back in P’town in a close to a decade, this approach to the dock felt special for me.

…and back to the coast to line up for the approach to Boston Logan in’tl…

I wondered if this might be Worcester, but I didn’t have my bearings well enough to know.

From The Air.23

Mid-August’s flight to Boston — same as the last entry, but now we’ve crossed the Atlantic and are over what I’m choosing to categorize as Maine, until someone can correct me.
