  • Highland Lighthouse

    Highland Lighthouse

    The Highland Lighthouse is located on outer Cape Cod in Truro, Massachusetts, providing a beacon for mariners on the North Atlantic. In 1996, the 66-foot tall brick structure had to be moved away from the eroding clay cliffs common in this area. On this day in June 2023, purple flowers and weathered fence rails frame the lighthouse under gray overcast skies. Visitors to this National Park Service site can climb the stairs to admire the view of the seashore.

  • Seaside Curves

    Seaside Curves

    Route 1A hugs the rocky coastline in North Hampton, New Hampshire at sunrise on this calm summer day. A bench beckons walkers and runners to pause and absorb the expansive ocean view. The curvy ribbon of asphalt also offers beautiful vistas for bikers and motorists – it won’t be empty long, due to the popularity of this portion of the New Hampshire State Seacoast Scenic Byway.

  • Coliseum Falls

    Coliseum Falls

    Aptly named, Coliseum Falls is a gently stepped cascade along Bemis Brook in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. It can be reached by hiking the Bemis Brook trail which starts a short distance south of the Willey House in Crawford Notch and leads to the much larger Arethusa Falls.

    Plum Island Beach

    Plum Island is a barrier beach near Newburyport, Massachusetts. Here, the waves have been kicked up by the same storm that raked the New Jersey shore and dumped snow on Washington DC late January 2016.
