On my way to Block Island, Rhode Island for a week.
On my way to Block Island, Rhode Island for a week.
The bluffs continue to erode naturally, which creates some beautiful views on many of these trails.
I used to play at the bottom of this bluff as a child and would witness rocks tumble down.
My parents used to tell me “just watch out for falling rocks!” and I’d disappear for a few hours playing with my sisters.
Different times in the 80s.
I took a foggy evening walk down Snake Hole Rd to the bluffs.
There’s zero light pollution, and no artificial light down this way, so it gets completely dark when there’s cloud cover and no moon.
Some Block Island atmosphere.
Back in Boston from Block Island and had an amazing time as always. I was able to pick up this original, 1973 (53-year-old) chart of the island.
The printing and paper are certainly different than reproductions; the yellow color of the island in the chart is really nice.
Quite happy about this, going to get it framed.
@occult if you are a map lover more generally this might be a fun place to drop into next time you are in RI.
