Body and Soul

Dune Trails, Cape Cod National Seashore, Massachusetts

 The glacial and marine journal of Cape Cod opens up its body and soul on these sand dunes.
  Softly rolling, ever-changing,
    where the power of sea and wind creates the dynamics of being and passing,

      and staying, remote and unbroken... 

Cape Cod NS: ... sand dunes...

Cape Cod NS: ... a body and soul of the glacial and marine journal...

Cape Cod NS: ... where each step makes a mark...

Cape Cod NS: ... and each view waits...

Cape Cod NS: ... for a moment...

Cape Cod NS: ... in this playhouse...

Cape Cod NS: ... where wind has the last word...

Cape Cod NS: ... and sand obeys...

Cape Cod NS: ... sweeps...

Cape Cod NS: ... ovals...

Cape Cod NS: ... in dynamics...

Cape Cod NS: ... of being...


Cape Cod NS: ... passing...

Cape Cod NS: ... and staying, remote and unbroken...

Hello There

Cape Cod National Seashore, Massachusetts

This group of seals has decided to take a rest at the exit point from dunes,
  where there is a good chance to meet humans.
   Why HERE ?... 

They see us right away, and it feels as if they know us. But do they trust us ?
 There is an exchange of views, in some kind of wonderland, 

   to remember...

The Topmost

South Pamet Cliffs, Cape Cod National Seashore, Massachusetts

A wish to hike up to the cliffs, look into the vastness of the ocean,
  and hear the sounds of infinity,
         above the flying seagulls.
  
  Silvery grasses are touching my boots...  

South Pamet Cliffs: ... on the ascent...

South Pamet Cliffs: ... through the woods...

South Pamet Cliffs: ... along...

South Pamet Cliffs: ... to the point of...

South Pamet Cliffs: ... a plunge into the vastness of the ocean...

South Pamet Cliffs: ... and the sounds of infinity...

South Pamet Cliffs: ... attached to the present...

South Pamet Cliffs: ... through passing times...

South Pamet Cliffs: ... where does it end ?...

South Pamet Cliffs: ... above the flying seagulls...

or with the silvery grass touching my boots...

... and I am somewhere in there...

South Pamet Cliffs: ... walking...

South Pamet Cliffs: ... stopping...

South Pamet Cliffs: ... over there...

South Pamet Cliffs: ... and here...

South Pamet Cliffs: ... attached to the present...

South Pamet Cliffs: ... of the blooms...

South Pamet Cliffs: ... of the ocean...

South Pamet Cliffs: ... with these looks...

South Pamet Cliffs: ... I meet the infinity...

South Pamet Cliffs: ... up there, close to the sun...

Coloring

Charles W. Ward Reservation, Andover, Massachusetts

How beautiful,
when a whole tree is like one great scarlet fruit full of ripe juices,
every leaf, from lowest limb to topmost spire, all aglow,
especially if you look toward the sun!

What more remarkable object can there be in the landscape?...

If such a phenomenon occurred but once,
it would be handed down by tradition to posterity, and get into the mythology at last...


HENRY D. THOREAU, Autumnal Tints
Ward Reservation: ... the month of October...

Ward Reservation: ... shining...

Ward Reservation: ... through the crowns...

Ward Reservation: ... through the colors...

Ward Reservation: ... and I cannot take my eyes away...

Ward Reservation: ... is this the moment to meet the Sun?...

Ward Reservation: ... even here, on the ground...

Ward Reservation: ... see the leaves...

Ward Reservation: ... and take a note...

Ward Reservation: ... of this beauty that gives life...
