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. 😊
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.
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.
Above, Boston’s waterfront early one morning; below, the coastline across Cape Cod Bay at Provincetown later that day, with the Pilgrim Monument visible in above the dunes.
This scale model of a ship is perhaps the main attraction of Provincetown’s lovely public library, whose exterior we showed you in the last post of this series.
One of P’town’s lighthouses – there are two that look pretty much identical, along the very narrow long strip that encloses P’town harbor and marks the true tail end of the long arm of Cape Cod, as seen from the breakwater as the tide slowly returned after a very low tide. If anyone’s confused by the way I’m switching around in country and continent with these posts, my apologies – after a slow winter where I didn’t get out too much after my last US visit (remember all those shots?), and even nearly ran out of legit shots for my Coasting, Islands, and Villages series…well, I’ve been out and about quite a lot since mid-July, and for the past week, I’ve been in Provincetown. Today I’m off to Star Island again — so you can search past entries which would be labeled New Hampshire, and very possibly tagged as Star Island, to get a sense of the sort of lovely views I hope to be adding to the mix in the weeks ahead. 🙂
