A couple of kilometres out on a kayak.
Not alone.
Behind me, across the bay, seal song sounded out from the caves.Not for the first time, from somewhere a butterfly fluttered by, heading towards the shore. For what seems an impossible adventure.

Man, if there were a place right at this moment I’d love to be … the Nubble Lighthouse in York, Maine, 2 September, 2026. Drone photo by Stephen Rideout.

America, One Moment at a Time — #7
The Lighthouse That Learned to Move
Nauset Light—with a little taste of Cape Cod.
My daughter spotted the coincidence: the Cape Cod chips she had brought along featured the very lighthouse we were standing beside.
I have always thought a lighthouse was supposed to be one of the more settled things in life.
It stands there.
The sea moves.
The ships move.
The weather changes.But the lighthouse stays put.
Apparently, I was wrong.
Nauset Light moves.
The lighthouse we see today in Eastham wasn’t even originally built there. The tower was built in 1877 as one of the Chatham Twin Lights and was moved to Eastham in 1923.
And then the Atlantic started doing what the Atlantic does.
It kept eating away at the coastline.
By 1996, less than 35 feet remained between the lighthouse and the cliff edge.
So someone had to make a rather unusual decision:
Move the lighthouse.
Not repaint it.
Not reinforce it.
Not tell the sea to behave itself.
Move it.
The entire 48-foot tower was moved about 300 feet inland to a new location across the road.
Nauset Beach Light Station, a Shifting Landmark” information board.
A lighthouse with an unusual history.
Standing there today, looking at that magnificent red-and-white tower, you would never know that it has already changed address twice.
It seems almost amusing.
We normally admire people who stand their ground.
But perhaps we should also admire those who know when the ground is no longer where it used to be.
Because sometimes circumstances change.
The familiar shore begins to disappear.
The things that once felt secure no longer are.
And then comes the difficult question:
Do I hold on—or do I move?
Lighthouse from the road
Nauset Light, Eastham, Cape Cod.
Nauset Light offers a rather elegant answer.
It didn’t stop being a lighthouse because it moved.
It simply carried its light with it.
Pushed Back by the Sea” — with the Atlantic Ocean beyond.
When the sea comes closer, sometimes you have to move.
Perhaps resilience isn’t always about staying exactly where we are.
Sometimes it is about recognising that the landscape has changed—and having the courage to move without losing what matters.
The lighthouse moved.
The light stayed.Maybe that’s the real lesson.

America, One Moment at a Time — #6
The Ocean Doesn’t Take Appointments
We boarded the whale-watching boat at Hyannis with one simple objective:
Find a whale.
The instructions seemed straightforward enough.
Go out to sea.
Look at the ocean.
Wait.The last part, as it turned out, was entirely up to the whale.
We had cameras ready.
Phones ready.
Eyes scanning the horizon.
Everyone seemed prepared for the great moment.
The whales, apparently, had not received the schedule.
And then they began to appear.
And then—there it was.
First a spout rising from the water.
Then a dark back breaking the surface.
Then another.
Two humpbacks, briefly above the surface.
For a few precious seconds, these enormous creatures revealed themselves to us before slipping quietly back beneath the waves.
Click. Click. Click.
We were beginning to get the hang of it.
And then, without warning, one of them breached.
For one glorious, impossible moment, this enormous creature launched itself out of the water.
We all saw it.
Nobody photographed it.
It happened too quickly.
By the time our cameras were pointed in the right direction, the whale was back where it belonged—underwater.
And somehow, I think that made the moment even more special.
We are so accustomed to photographs, videos and screens that we expect everything worth seeing to remain available for us to capture, replay and share.
But the ocean doesn’t work that way.
The whale appears when it chooses.
The moment arrives when it arrives.
And then it is gone.And then, a wave goodbye.
Perhaps that’s part of the wonder.
Some moments are meant to be witnessed, not captured.
We went looking for whales.
What we found was also a little lesson in patience.
And a reminder that the world doesn’t always perform on demand.
Sometimes you just have to wait, watch—and be ready when it decides to say hello.

"Rosebank, the largest untapped oil field in the North Sea, lies around 80 miles north-west of Shetland, while Jackdaw is around 150 miles east of Aberdeen."
If you're 80 miles north west of Shetland you are in the Atlantic Ocean not the North Sea

My favorite #FootpathFriday view is imminent. Can’t wait to hear the waves curling onto the shore and gulls crying, and to feel the warm sand and salty air.

It's been so long, I forget how fun this truly was...until I look back at pictures of that one magical evening off the southernmost reaches of Florida.
Captured by me, "Sunset on a Schooner".

If #SpaceX is to fulfill its ambitions to launch thousands of #Starship rockets, it needs more launch 🚀 sites. And there are limited expanses of undeveloped coastal locations along the Gulf of #Mexico and southern #AtlanticOcean in the #UnitedStates

There's nothing else quite like sailing into the end of the day, is there?...
Captured by me when I had the good fortune to be out on the water: "A February Sunset in the Florida Strait".

Oh, when I pencil it out, it doesn't make financial sense to live aboard full-time, but so help me, I want to go! A sight and sound that, once you're in it, you never want to end, captured one winter's eve off the coast of Florida: "Full Sail".

An Fear Marbh at Sunset
It looked like there wouldn’t be any sunset, but I was down at the bottom of Dunquin Pier when I saw an orange glow coming from behind the large rock blocking my view of the sun that had just set.
If you know how steep that path down to the pier is, I hope you’ll have some sympathy for me as I raced up again to capture what turned out to be a momentary break in the thick clouds. I was surprised I saw any colour in the sky!

What could be better than being by the sea? I've loved the Swiss mountains for a long time, but the Norwegian coast has definitely captured my heart and won't let it go. Especially when the landscape is at its best. I could walk along these coasts forever and lose myself in the beauty.
Which landscape do you love the most?
