This is Provincetown's Breakwater. It was constructed in 1911 to protect the harbor from sand dunes that often shifted into the harbor from high winds. Walking it's 1.2 mile repetitively rocky length during low tide was both peaceful and meditative. On a perfectly quiet and clear day, it was the perfect setting to get lost in your own thoughts for a couple hours.

Breakwater - Cape Cod, MA
I went to Cape Cod yesterday in search of right whales. Apparently, each year one of the largest schools of right whales (40 in total) migrates into the Cape Cod Bay to mate and enjoy the Cape's famous seafood. With binoculars in hand, we waited for a breach, a plume of seawater... really any sign of cetic activity. To steal a joke from Demetri Martin, whale watching = ocean staring. We saw nothing. However, as evidenced by the photo below, the landscape views alone made yesterday worth the day trip.
