Tangeri, Tangier
Tangier Island is about 1.2 square miles of land in the Chesapeake Bay and has a shrinking population of around 490. Each year the island loses feet of shoreline to erosion, subsidence of the soft soil it is built on, the lapping waves from the west as storms and large ship traffic take their toll and the rising levels of the bay waters. Depending on who's ongoing scientific study you subscribe to, the island has approximately 25-50 years of inhabitable years left. The Watermen who work the fishing boats and crab shacks around the island are a hard-working, brave bunch who in recent years been slapped with a cap on new commercial fishing licenses issued by the government making them the last generation of Tangier Island's citizens who will ever call the bay water's their workplace.
I had posted a similar view shot on 35mm film with the Nikon F4S last year but wanted to include this one shot on medium format.

Negative scanned with Epson 4990 on holders fitted with ANR glass.
Our guide asked us if what we saw during our visit to Morroco was what we thought it it might be prior to going there. He asked if the colours and foliage were a surprise. I can honestly say that in my mind I thought it be very dry, arrid and void of lush plants and grasses we saw.
Here in the Medina, there were many calm and quiet streets, with beautiful whitewashed residential places, and the bougainvillea was plentiful.
BTW, that was not our guide.
Tangier Island is in the Chesapeake Bay. It is part of Virginia.
The island was discovered by John Smith in 1608. It was settled in the 1770's.
At one time, there were 1500 residents on the island. Today, there are about 400.
Because of sea level rise, approximately 67% of the island has disappeared since 1850. Its expected that within 50 years, the island will be gone.

Most people get around on the island in golf carts.
This was one of the only pickups I saw on the island. The streets are so narrow that it caused a traffic jam when it met a golf cart. The golf cart had to drive onto the grass because of the narrowness of the road.
You can see the golf carts backed up behind the pick-up. Rush hour on Tangier Island!

New developments in Taunton take shape.
Tangier is an area to the south of the town centre skirting the river from the bus station to French Weir Park. This prime location, with many brown-field areas in public ownership is perfect for small scale commercial mixed use development – and a regional housebuilder has already acquired outline consent to build 200 new homes.
A new major road scheme, The Third Way, linking the A38 (Wellington Road) to Bridge Street and two Park & Ride schemes will ease the flow of traffic to this area significantly, making it a very desirable part of town in which to work and live.
