"My western windows are most beautiful in early evening. On these lovely, cool September nights the level and quiescent dust of light which fills the sky is as autumnal in its colouring as the earth below. There is autumn on the earth and autumn overhead. The great isles of tawny orange smouldering into darkness, the paths of the channels stilled to twilight bronze, the scarlet meadows deepening to levels of purple and advancing night--all these mount, in exhalation of colour, to the heavens."
      Henry Beston, The Outermost House

My experience of Cape Cod goes back to the 1950s, when my parents bought a summer house in Wellfleet. The months of June, July, and August were filled with days at the beach, evenings at the town library and the ice-cream stand, Little League games, and the weekly square dance. Nowadays, I am lucky to be able to divide my time between San Francisco and Wellfleet. Is it any wonder that so many writers, painters, and photographers have drawn inspiration from the Cape? The magical light illuminates and clarifies everyday scenes and turns them into the stuff of art.
