Windblown Sand Dunes At First Encounter Beach on Cape Cod… Two Perspectives!

I  loved this simple photograph of the windblown dune at First Encounter Beach in Eastham, Most of the footprints have been blown away. I took several photos of this dune. (Click on blog link to see other photo.)

I couldn’t decide if I liked the 1st one or the 2nd one better. The 2nd one tells a much different story as you can see the windblown tree  and bushes with branches only on one side and the dramatic clouds in the sky.

Which one do you like better?

 

Will Mother Nature Win… On Cape Cod Bay?

First Encounter Beach is in Eastham on Cape Cod Bay. You wouldn’t think that the dunes on the bayside would have that much erosion. (Click on blog link to see other photo.)

The high tides and rough seas have eaten away at these dunes the past few years, showing just how precariously close to the edge this house is. As you can see in the photograph at low tide, truckloads of huge boulders were brought in to keep the water away from the dunes.

Wow! It makes you wonder how long the houses near the edge will be able to withstand Mother Nature’s assault…

Kite Surfing At First Encounter Beach On Cape Cod.

Yesterday was a windy, windy day and perfect for kite surfing on the creek behind First Encounter Beach. It was fun to watch the 2 kite surfers as they did their maneuvers. (Click on blog link to see other photo.)

In the 2nd photograph, the kite surfer jumped so high in the air, I got him in my frame but not the kite. Pretty cool, don’t you think?
