Photowalk 5: Woods Hole, Cape Cod, MA.

Where seagulls rule

Greetings, fellow photographers, adventurers, and dreamers.  It's about time we took a stroll through one of Cape Cod's hidden gems – Woods Hole.

Now, before you start imagining lumberjacks in Hawaiian shirts (I know I did), let me set the record straight: Woods Hole is not a place where trees moonlight as fashion models. But it is a place where seagulls strut their stuff like they're on a seaside runway! 🦆💃

Woods Hole is that magical corner of Cape Cod where you can experience the joys of small-town charm and the mysteries of the ocean all in one gulp of salt air. It’s also the place where you take the ferry to Martha’s Viveyard (we weren’t allowed to enter the Vineyard waters because our family income is too high.) Whatever. I don’t get upset at other peoples idiotic rules anymore. Instead, I create my own idiotic rules.

Besides, why go where you’re not allowed instead of enjoying what right outside your window. And lemme tell you, folks, this place (Woods Hole / West Falmouth) is so picturesque that even the seagulls have developed a sense of glamour.

I’ve explored all the nooks and crannies of Woods Hole and Falmouth, and tried to capture their beauty in all its quirky glory. From the colorful clapboard houses that look like they just stepped out of a Wes Anderson film, to the charming streets that seem to lead to secret pockets of paradise – this place is a treasure trove of Instagrammable moments. 💙📷 (Shit, did I just say that?!)

And the best part? Woods Hole doesn't just deliver on aesthetics – it's a place of science, innovation, and the occasional ice cream cone mishap (don't ask). You can explore the renowned Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, where they're unlocking the mysteries of the deep sea while I’m still struggling to unlock the hatch to my subconscious.

So, whether you're a seagull enthusiast, an aspiring oceanographer, or just someone who appreciates the art of unintentional sand exfoliation, Woods Hole / Falmouth has something for you. And if you ever find yourself here, remember to pack a spare pair of shoes and your best seagull pose. Who knows, you might just make the next cover of "Glamourous Gulls Monthly"! 📸✨

Stay salty, my friends. And remember, if you don’t have good dreams, you’ll have nightmares.
