Where the Land meets the Sea, part 5
On a moonlit night at Pemaquid Point, two figures look out to sea. A soft wind presses against their bodies. The rhythm of breaking waves fills the air. “I would love to spend the rest of my life searching for beauty,” whispers the woman to the man.

Winter Ocean at Pemaquid Point
With temperatures climbing above freezing and a rare sunny day, Naomi and I went to Pemaquid Point this weekend. While the weather was mild, the ocean swells were dynamic. Monhegan Island can be seen on the horizon. Click on the image for a larger view.

Sky, Sea, and Land, Part 1
Naomi and I went out to Pemaquid Point on late on Sunday to watch the storm swells. While the place is always the same—the land sliding into the water which stretches out until it meets the sky at the horizon—it is always hypnotic.
Standing at the Edge of the World
Naomi and I took a drive to Pemaquid Point yesterday afternoon. It was a beautiful fall day. The sky was cloudless and the horizon sharp in the dry air.

In a matter of minutes, the fog bank rushed over us like a tsunami. But unlike the surf, the bank rolled in like a whisper. The late afternoon sun turned the air gold. The world, which seemed so solid and large a moment ago, fell away. Click on the image for a larger view.
Storm Surge at Pemaquid Point
In March 2013, a storm surge was reaching land at Pemaquid Point in Maine. The storm was well out to sea. The skies were clear and periodic swells rushed into the cove just below the lighthouse. Click on the image for a larger view.
