We’ll call these both Massachusetts, since I no longer recall what we might have been flying over when I took these last-remaining photos from the flight between A’dam and Boston late on the 18th of August.
This weekend (with the shortest weekend days of the year for those of us here in the northern hemisphere – days also when many of my family and friends around the world are likely to be gathering in homes far and wide to enjoy each other’s company) seems a good moment to share my last coastal photos from that lovely August high-summer week in Provincetown, just before I hopped over to Star for the meditation week. Experienced readers will know already that the photos and gallery in this post will be viewed much better on a large screen. 😊
More from our August outing to Star Island, which we’ve been sharing with you off and on since our first visit there (as an adult) in 2009. These photos were taken less than 75 minutes apart – above looking at the solar array around 7:48, below, gulls on the roof of the generator house around 9 the same morning, presumably as I was heading back for more sits after breakfast.
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.
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.
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.
