I often fly over Cape Cod to photograph aerial views of the stunning and every changing coastline.

The Cape Cod National Seashore with its ocean breaches over the past decade, offer many aesthetic surprises. One day I caught a small craft looking for a passage out to the open sea. This view from above shows its dilemma: things not as they once were. However, nature had a gift of spectacular beauty in the colors and shapes of shifting sand and sea (where there was once a passage).

The scene is transient and changes with the tide.

It is a privilege to see the world from above, capturing its strength and fragility through the lens of my camera. I am always delighted to find such Art from the Air, showcasing a real place on the earth.

The little boat had to take a much longer way to get to the open waters.
