Along the firebreak at the
Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge
The firebreak at Jamaica Bay runs in a loop that is roughly two or three miles long. I have walked this loop many, many times and find that it has a tranquil, meditative quality. I once saw baby turtles hatching in the sand here, and have been chased by angry geese more than once.
One day I had a flash of an idea: a series of dozens of photos showing essentially the same exact view, over many years, through the seasons. This is about as far as I got; about a year ago I got very busy and I haven’t taken many pictures since then. I am slowly working my way back into things, but I’m starting small.
