  3. 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.

  4. 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".

The Zumwalt class uses an integrated electric propulsion system that can distrib...

  6. Hype for the Future 65F: Historic City of Saint Augustine, Florida

    Introduction Though Saint Augustine was not settled as part of British Colonial America but as part of New Spain in early European imperialism, the community of Saint Augustine has since been transformed by the Flagler heritage representative of the entirety of the modern State of Florida, and especially Northern Florida. History Founded by the Spanish in 1565, Saint Augustine has largely been identified by the iconic structures associated with the community, including the Ponce de León […]

  7. Hype for the Future 65A: Cape Cod and Upper Barnstable County

    Disclaimer Because the Town of Provincetown is located at the tail end of Cape Cod and is a notable location for the LGBTQIA+ 🏳️‍🌈 community, Ptown requires a separate article on the blog. Therefore, this particular article will refer to the remainder of the area, especially north of Orleans along Route 6. Introduction The Towns of Truro and Wellfleet are typically considered the second and third towns up the Cape Cod Peninsula in Barnstable County, Massachusetts. If Provincetown […]

  8. Hype for the Future 64F: Boothbay Area, Maine

    Introduction The Towns of Boothbay and Boothbay Harbor are largely associated with the summer season, both along the Atlantic Ocean with Boothbay slightly further inland (north) within Lincoln County, Maine. Though Monhegan Island and its associated plantation may be more accessible from Knox County to the east, the island area is also considered part of Lincoln County, albeit separately identified from the Boothbay communities. Boothbay Harbor is situated to the south of Boothbay and is […]

  9. Hype for the Future 64D: Lincoln County, Maine (North of Boothbay)

    Introduction Lincoln County, Maine, is located partly at the western end of the Waldo Patent and otherwise in the vicinity of the Atlantic Ocean, bounded by Knox County to the east, Sagadahoc County to the west, Kennebec County to the northwest, and Waldo County to the northeast. The county seat of Lincoln County is the community of Wiscasset, and much of the county is traversed by way of United States Route 1 along the Atlantic Ocean. On the eastern edge of the county is the Town of […]

  10. 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!

  11. So, remember a couple of weeks ago when I posted about visiting the #AtlanticOcean in #Maine, and the water was very warm? I was *not* imagining it!

    #Atlantic #HurricaneSeason is almost here, and conditions are primed for 'rapid intensification'

    How many hurricanes will there be this year? Will this season be worse than 2024? AccuWeather meteorologists have the answers to these questions and more ahead of the official start of the Atlantic hurricane season on June 1.

    By Brian Lada, AccuWeather meteorologist and senior content editor
    Published May 21, 2025

    "One of the biggest factors for tropical development in 2025 is the abundance of warm water available to fuel storms. 'The water temperatures across most of the Atlantic are above average for this time of the year,' AccuWeather Lead Hurricane Expert Alex DaSilva said. 'They're not quite as warm as what we saw last year and in 2023, but they're still well, well above average.'

    "Waters are expected to stay warm throughout most of the hurricane season, which will prime storms for explosive development. "

  12. 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?
