Sunset at Head of the Meadow Beach
Had a great vacation with my family this past week. Thought I would start my Cape Cod pics with the last one I took.
N. Truro, Cape Cod, MA
Race Point Lighthouse
Outer Cape Cod
Massachusetts
One of the best experiences of the trip. This is the very end of Cape Cod. Only accessible by a two and a half hour hike on the ocean beach or 4X4 trail through the dunes with a permit only. Tire deflation required and an air pump supplied at pavements end. So Joni and I hiked the beach. Photographed it until sunset. Just before sunset the light keeper that lives there came out and pointed to the lighthouse and asked if we wanted to see the sunset at the top. Of course we did. This older gentleman looked just like what you think a lightkeeper would look like. It was a thrill to be the only ones in on that day to watch the sun sink below the ocean at the tip of Cape Cod. After that it started getting dark. There are no lights out there and we started to hike through difficult sand dunes for a couple of hours. Luckily a jacked up 70's Bronco without a cab came by and offered a ride. A Ukrainian man and his local girlfriend. Great experience and sit aved us a lot of hard walking. We still arrived at our car at 10:00.
The relief conductor on CSX Y322 has to cover his ears as the sound of the 2002's horn will bounce off the nearby walls pretty loudly. If you read Lance Mindheim's blog there's an entry about a unique experience he had at COD Seafood Fish Market when railfanning in 2010, this is it. The train is preparing to pull off after expiring under Y322's crew on the Sentry Lead. Still there is one more customer to work....
OK everyone cue up Santo & Johnny's Sleepwalk and slip into your beach chair and take in the warm summer sun. Going over my old stuff I had tried to do this picture with my very old cheapo software and didn't like the way it came out but my latest software really enhanced this just fine. Taken towards the outer end of Cape Cod.
Lofoten Archipelago, Norway.
Stockfish is unsalted fish, especially cod, dried by cold air and wind on wooden racks (which is called "hjell" in Norway) on the foreshore. The drying of food is the world's oldest known preservation method, and dried fish has a storage life of several years. Stockfish is Norway's longest sustained export commodity.
Eu sou viciada em maquiagem, então nada melhor do que ter um estojo que vc separe tudo direitinho e com muito charme!
Another shot of the cod drying racks in Henningsvaer, Lofoten.
It was impressive to see the scale of the operations there, with almost every village having their own racks next to the coast.
A lighthouse situated on the south corner of Martha's Vineyard, MA. There are five distinct and picturesque towns found on Martha's Vineyard and this is the farthest from the dock from which guests are brought over from the mainland. I had to print this one out for my refrigerator this morning. I miss it so. The title pays homage to how they call their lightouses "lights" in Cape Cod. Thus the title Cape Cod Lights.
