    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.

    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.

  6. Hype for the Future 247/284: Maryland’s Eastern Shore

    Introduction The Eastern Shore of the State of Maryland is a notable area east of the Susquehanna River and Chesapeake Bay in the State of Maryland and is most commonly associated with Cecil, Kent, Queen Anne’s, Caroline, Talbot, Dorchester, Wicomico, Somerset, and Worcester Counties. While Kent County is associated with the extreme southwestern portion of the Greater Philadelphia area, the more southerly counties of the State of Maryland are associated with rural communities and larger […]

  7. A reminder that in some parts of our world, May is a month where it's getting seriously bright. This is May 30 in Nordkapp...at *midnight*. The sun doesn't get lower than this; it just rises higher again.

    Captured by me on my 2024 road trip, "Midnight sun shining on the water at North Cape, Norway".

  8. Inside the race to understand Greenland’s ‘climate tipping point’.

    An international team of scientists is determined to understand just how quickly Greenland’s melting glaciers are pushing the Atlantic Ocean towards a “critical climate tipping point”.

    They’ll also trial a prototype ‘Early Warning System’ for glacier change in Greenland, as ice melt continues to accelerate.

  9. 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 […]

    ✧ Pachygrapsus marmoratus ✧

    Pachygrapsus marmoratus, also known as the marbled crab, is a species in the family Grapsidae, the marsh crabs. The species is found in southern Europe and northern Africa, in the waters of the Black Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, and parts of the Atlantic Ocean. It is a dark violet-brown crab, with yello...

    I spent a half an hour this morning picking up single use plastic and styrofoam and other materials such as glass and rubber items. I do this once or twice a month on this section of Atlantic shoreline in the Florida Keys. I could have spent 5 hours and still not have gotten it all. Plastic bottles and bottle caps, styrofoam of various sizes, shoes, toothbrushes, rope, hoses etc. Millions of years from now, long after humans have killed themselves off, I hope that Mother Earth may be restored

  13. 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. "

  14. Wild Atlantic Waves

    Waves crash onto the beach and rocks of Couminole Beach, Co Kerry near full tide. A dangerous beach for swimming at the best of times, it would be foolhardy to go swimming there in conditions like this!

  15. 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?

  16. “If there is poetry in my book about the sea, it is not because I deliberately put it there, but because no one could write truthfully about the sea and leave out the poetry.”
    -Rachel Carson,
 upon receiving the National Book Award in 1952 for ‘The Sea Around Us’
