At the old Coast Guard station beach and parking area. Not actually abandoned, but vacant and falling into disrepair.

Pollen

Wellfleet, Massachusetts

This was at the Newcomb Hollow Beach parking lot, over two weeks ago. The pollen there was much milder than down here in Connecticut—the outer Cape is only a few miles wide so there just aren't as many plants. Still weeks later, down here the cars are covered with yellow powder every morning. The season simply isn't ending.

Spring at the Salt Pond

Cape Cod National Seashore Park, Massachusetts

Taking a break from the Pt/Pd darkroom, I've been making some large, 17x22, color prints today, including these two shots from Cape Cod. I continue to be amazed at the quality of prints this size from m-4/3s format captures.

Spring on the Dunes

 Eastham, Massachusetts

Last Tuesday morning, at The Cape Cod National Seashore Park. The beach access is closed because of storm damage, while information at their web site says that the across the board federal budget cuts have forced them to drop many of their ranger-guided tours of the area. The observation platform you see at the upper left is accessible, but the beach and many hiking trails are closed. Since this appears to have the biggest parking lot of any place on the Outer Cape, there has to be a severe impact on tourism. The municipally owned beaches are mostly open, with ramps or stairs from the cliff top to the beaches restored, but their parking lots are tiny, only suitable for local residents and the vacationers who take (expensive!) weekly rentals. I don't know how the majority of potential high season tourists will get to spend a day at the beach.
