A LITTLE FURTHER INTO THE BOOK

Places, people & ideas.

01 / Place

Cape Cod

The Massachusetts coastline gives the walks their route and the Atlantic its constant presence.

02 / Ideas

Life along the shore

Lighthouses, wrecks and local encounters connect natural history to the work of living beside the sea.

03 / Reading note

Watch the scale change

A small detail on the beach can lead to a much wider reflection. Follow the movement between the two.
