Cape Roseway Light stands atop a promontory of dramatic rocks.
Climbing on them is great fun.
Gigantic seams of quartzite run through them.
It's hard to imagine the powerful forces that have created these angles.
Our friend Tom thinks these are Greater Scaup. But Hazel and John, birders from Ontario, had a contrary view. Common Eider, they said, moulting.
Nope, says Leroy d'Entremont, who owns and manages the island sheep. They are locally called coot, and they're a kind of scaup. I give Leroy the final word.
To the east lies Jordan Bay.
Tide pools reflect the sky.
The Cape Roseway sky is often filled with wonder.

The Cape Roseway sky is often filled with wonder.

To the west lie fishing banks and the Gulf of Maine.
