When I saw this bridge I knew I had to stop. I like the way the old train bridge is reaching up into the cloudy sky, while the tracks run off in different directions below.

Actually this isn’t a river, it is the ocean receding at low tide, but the crazy path the water chose to take is worth noting. I could have sat here all night taking photos of the dramatic sky, but the tide was coming back in and my path home was getting wetter by the second.

When I was in Cape Cod I of course wanted to see the two lighthouses out at the very tip of the Cape. I was able to make it to one, and this was the very breakwater I crossed to get there. The view on the way back was stunning!

I didn’t ask them directly, but I’m positive these two dogs are old friends just enjoying a day on Cape Cod.

This lighthouse is in a unique location. It is at the tip of Cape Code in Massachusetts. To reach it, you must cross a long breakwater. I was warned by some locals not to linger too long, or the tide may come in and make for either a very wet return, or an evening out on the Cape. This isn’t exactly a sunset shot for that very reason, but I was able to make use of the sun with the time that I had.

Once you climb the stairs of the Pilgrim Monument, you are rewarded with a view of the end of Cape Cod. That little strip of sand out there is the very tip of Cape Cod with the Provincetown Harbor in the foreground.

This was taken inside the Pilgrim Monument on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. I wasn’t as eager to start the hike up the stairs as I was to get a photo of the interesting symmetry on the way up. I also liked the way the combination of man made and natural light give the stairs different colors.

An old train bridge on Cape Cod. This bridge is a vertical lift that raises the center section straight up parallel to the water below. It was an interesting design, and the sharp metal edges against the cloudy sky made for a cool photo.

See, I told you I was ready for summer! Ok, maybe I’m not quite ready, but these kayaks sure are. They are just waiting for the right person to come along and rent them for a nice paddle off Cape Cod.
