There is Noise in this Solitude
Cool, clear, bright... very brisk...
Off to the left, past the harbours bouldered breakwater,
"The Caves", carved from ancient sandstone bluffs...
Far around the curving horseshoe beach to the right,
Quaco Head, protrudes into the Bay of Fundy...
The tide advances... almost 6 hours, one way...
Seagulls huddle in groups along the water line...
Watching... waiting ... shifting position...
Brilliant white foam on waves, loud and steel gray,
Whose powerful motion turn the beach from rocks to sand....
Seaweed pushed to the wrack lines...
The beach is empty otherwise...
Tourists have gone home...
It is left for us now...
.
that's a most beautiful splash in the waves...

ReplyDeleteEbb and flow, comforting, dramatic, infinity. Shore life, living on the edge. Eternal, perpetual motion, moon defined. Fascinating, breathgiving. Feeds me too on the other side of the Atlantic.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely photos of 'home' my friend.
ReplyDeleteYou know I am certain that a waft of sea salt laden air went up my nostrils, as I viewed those photo's.
ReplyDeleteTo walk on a winter beach bereft of visitors is simply idyllic & a rare pleasure for our household.
Thank you for posting your local scenery.
Lovely photographs and you write so beautifully....would make a wonderful book....
ReplyDeleteWish I were there right now!
ReplyDeleteHi All.. Being there was so airy and refreshing, I wanted to share it with all of you... thank-you
ReplyDeleteNice when the visitors have departed.
ReplyDeleteI love vistas where no people, or signs of them, are visible.
But then, that is only natural for a crow.
Crow.. not much distraction here..
ReplyDeleteThank you for bringing me back for one last hurrah before winter, since I can't make it in person...
ReplyDeleteToday is even more amazing although it is gray and raining... for it's the new moon and the tides are higher than ever...
