My View of Life on the Dock
So this is November at Long Beach, views mostly from the Gloucester edge approximately two hours post high tide which was at 2:00PM November 27, 2018.
High tide was here

Beautiful breakers and sunset light slipping through the clouds after the storm.

The waves along the back shore were pretty terrific the other day
Sunday was so beautiful, late in day decided to go over to Good Harbor Beach and take a walk. Gorgeous fall day.

The waves and color of the ocean can be so beautiful.
The photos were taken after the storm on Tuesday morning, at dead low tide, standing almost to Salt Island and looking toward Thacher Island. I don’t recall ever seeing such enormous waves at low tide and will stay tuned in the future. Look for the surfer’s head in the waves 🙂
A huge shout out to Thacher Island Association and president Paul St. Germain for winning an Essex National Heritage Area partnership grant to restore the elevated pedestrian lighthouse walkway on Straitsmouth Island.
Paul St. Germain writes, “We will restore the original C 1850, 220-foot granite and wooden timber walkway to provide safe and easy access for the public to visit the lighthouse from the keeper house. This walkway has been there since 1854 and was destroyed sometime in the 1930’s. Besides its usefulness it has also been an iconic signature of the island’s profile for over 80 years.”
This unique 1906 photo shows the 315-foot walkway, the oil house, and keeper house, as well as Thacher Island’s Twin Lights in the distance.

Just another beautiful morning in the neighborhood.
More rough seas on Wednesday, guess there is a storm way out at sea.
Thursday afternoon as the waves were inviting for the local surfers.
Grateful for the tameness of today’s storm, the fourth nor’easter of March. Our coastline has had its fill of damage done. Sunny skies forecasted for tomorrow!

Shoreline, home, and garden have been hard hit by the third nor’easter to take place this March. The waves and spindrifts were magnificent, taking a short drive around the back shore this morning, but it was difficult to observe the further damage to coastline habitats.
Even though we all have to shovel, do without power, and be cold, the beauty the day after a snow storm is addictive.
Took a drive down Shore Road and the Back Shore early Wednesday morning. So pretty, driving down Hesperus Avenue with the trees covered in snow looked magical.
