Description
Cape Cod and its neighboring islands, Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, possess unusual beauty. Magnificent ocean vistas, spectacular sand dunes, quiet marshes, and historic seaside villages bring other folks back year after year. Featuring more than 50 of Kathryn Kleekamp’s original oil paintings depicting land and seascapes along side rare historic photographs, this edition includes more than 20 new images and a chapter on current conservation efforts directed at preserving the realm’s natural resources. Images and text capture the elemental nature of this remarkable place: the heart beat of individuals who farmed the land, fished the seas, captained the good schooners, or waited at home for a loved one’s return. For the inquiring visitor these remarkable stories of courage and enterprise provide background for thoughtful mirrored image. Traditional Cape and Island recipes are included as any other link to the past.
