The Cape Cod (Highland) Light in North Truro, Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
Built in 1857. The tower is 66 feet tall and it's lantern is 183 feet above sea level. The light sits on a high cliff above the sea. It is located in north Truro on Cape Cod's Atlantic coast. The first light tower on this site was built in 1797 and was 45 feet tall. It was rebuilt in 1853 on the same site. It was replaced by the present tower in 1857. In 1996 the tower and buildings were moved 450 feet further inland to protect them from destruction by erosion (the cliff's edge was within 100 feet of the keeper's dwelling). There is a nice walking path behind (in this picture) the light out a short distance to the old location and then past that a deck with a beautiful view of the ocean and huge beaches below. This visit we were treated with a pair of seals swimming up the coast in the tide fishing, watching them surface and then come back up. Couldn't get a photo of them with the cheap FujiFilm 2mp camera that took these. If I had, you would have just seen some black specks in the ocean most likely. The Fuji took decent snapshots, but my Canon A95 does much better, and I'm getting bored with it. Time for a better lens.

USS Cod (SS/AGSS/IXSS-224) is a Gato-class submarine, the only vessel of the United States Navy to be named for the cod, an important and very popular food fish of the North Atlantic and North Pacific.
Cod is now a National Historic Landmark, preserved as a memorial and museum ship permanently moored in Cleveland, Ohio, and is open to visitors daily from May to November.
Cod′s keel was laid down by the Electric Boat Company at Groton, Connecticut, on 21 July 1942. The submarine's five V16 diesel engines were built by General Motors Cleveland Diesel Plant on the west side of Cleveland, Ohio. She was launched on 21 March 1943, sponsored by Mrs. G. M. Mahoney, and commissioned on 21 June 1943 with Commander James C. Dempsey, USN; in command. Dempsey had already won fame by sinking the first Japanese destroyer lost in World War II while in command of the submarine USS S-37 (SS-142).
Cod is credited with sinking more than 12 enemy vessels totaling more than 37,000 tons, and damaging another 36,000 tons of enemy shipping. All seven of her war patrols were considered successful and Cod was awarded seven battle stars for her service in World War II, Cod's battleflag and conning tower both carry a cocktail glass above the name O-19 to commemorate the rescue and the party.
Today, Cod is one of the finest restored submarines on display and is the only U.S. submarine that has not had stairways and doors cut into her pressure hull for public access. Cod is the only World War II Fleet submarine that is still intact and in her wartime configuration. Visitors to the ship use the same vertical ladders and hatches that were used by her crew. She also has unique attractions such as the 5-inch deck gun that still can be rotated by visitors and mock-fired by Cod's volunteer crew. The Cod's Mark IV Torpedo Data Computer is also fully restored, as well as other various parts on the submarine.
Cleveland can claim partial credit as Cod's birthplace, since the submarine's five diesel engines were built at the General Motors Cleveland Diesel Plant on Cleveland's west side. Cod acquired two General Motors Model 248 V16 engines that had originally been used aboard another World War II submarine, USS Stingray (SS-186). The engines are held in reserve for parts for the restoration of Cod's engines. All of the engines on the Cod are in working order, and can be fired up on special events.
The Cod operates an amateur radio station, W8COD,[14] and participates in various amateur radio contests and other events such as Field Day.
On 13 June 2021, USS Cod departed Cleveland under tow to Donjon Shipbuilding & Repair in Erie, Pennsylvania for dry docking to repair and renew her underwater hull. The last time the Cod was in dry dock for repairs was in 1963 in Lorain, Ohio. Cod was closed to tours for approximately 64 days for a dry dock maintenance program. The goal of the $1.1 million project, partially funded by a $395,050 grant from the Save America's Treasures grant program administered by the Department of the Interior, is to conserve and restore the underwater hull of this 1943-vintage submarine so that she will continue to be a well-preserved National Historic Landmark and memorial for all veterans of America's armed forces. Cod returned to Cleveland on 18 August 2021 to the 1201 North Marginal Road berth that she has occupied since her arrival in Cleveland in 1959.

Cape Cod’s oldest lighthouse, locally known as the Highland Light, is officially named "Cape Cod Light" on the NOAA nautical chart for the region. It sits perched 120 feet above the ocean in the Highlands of Truro. Its beam shines 174 ft. above sea level to give mariners warning of the treacherous sandbars off this shore.
The inaugural African American/Latino Parent Summit, sponsored by the DuPage Regional Office of Education and College of DuPage, gave parents an awareness of the academic achievement gap that many African American and Latino students face. Presenters were Lourdes Ferrer, Ed.D., and Stephen Garlington, academic achievement consultants for the DuPage Regional Office of Education.
Tried to give this some real flow, hope you like it bro.
I think it is still NYish enough that you will probably find it fairly comfortable to paint,but hopefully with some new lines to enjoy.

This film taken in 1939-showing the Cape Cod canal and Railroad Bridge. A young couple enjoys the nearby beach in Bourne. Some wreckage still in place from the '38 hurricane.
The Cape Cod Canal is a man-made waterway traversing the narrow neck of land that joins Cape Cod to mainland Massachusetts.
Part of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, the canal is roughly 17.4 miles long (approximately 7 of which are cut through land)[1] and connects Cape Cod Bay in the north to Buzzards Bay in the south. The 540-foot width of the canal is spanned by the Cape Cod Canal Railroad Bridge and two highway bridges -- the Bourne and the Sagamore. Traffic lights govern the approach of vessels over 65 feet, and are located at either end of the canal. From the MLBaron Historical Archives. www.westislandweather.com
