I was in Maine this week. I set this up to be a time lapse, but when I sped it up, I realized that sometimes watching a light house while the sun goes down in real time is also quite nice.
So I have always thought time ought not to be killed, but sometimes I also think it wasn't meant to be spent. Sometimes, I spend my time trying to work hard enough to buy myself a future where I don't worry about the passing minutes as I try to finish my homework, a place where somehow the clocks don't try to measure me anymore.
This was my grandfather's favorite place in the world. He was really involved in civil rights and caring everyone in his community and each of the students that he served. This light house has become a symbol in our family of him and whenever I see this image I am reminded of the light he brought to the world. The fact that you two chose to spend your time there honestly almost makes me tear up. So many people have deep connections to different places and views, making them meaningful in so many different ways. This was what I thought of when I watched this, and I am wondering what others were thinking/feeling.
I had to write an observation for my English class, and decided to write it on this video. Listening to the waves crash and describing what I saw was honestly so peaceful
When my mom passed away, my sisters and I made a trip to Maine to spread her ashes. During that trip we visited all of her favorite places, restaurants and shops. The Nubble was my favorite stop. Thanks for sharing this. She loved that lighthouse.
This reminds me of what it's like to watch a crowd instead of an event. Like, you can have pictures upon pictures of something like a rocket launch. But swivel the camera around and watch the crowd instead, and suddenly the moment is much more real. We can see thousands of pictures of monuments and mountains, but the moments behind them are even more beautiful. Take pictures of a monument under restoration, capture images of people enjoying the view, and watch a world of sunlight instead of just watching the sun and sky. Beauty isn't just in its own epicenter--it's in everything around it and in everything it touches. I'm sure there's an artsy and psychological way to talk about it in terms of focal point and attention :) But I'll just drift off in these ocean waves for now.
Oh my god I live in Maine and visit the Nubble all the time! It's so beautiful during Christmas when the lighthouse and the little buildings are lit up. Sitting there on the rocks is one of my happy places.
As stressed out as I am lately, this was acctually a much needed break for me, and a reminder to go outside when everything feels too much. Thank you Hank!
Hank, This is a place I have visited every year since I was born. A place that has seen me through so many trying times. And today I needed this video of my favorite place and audio of the eocean more than ever. Thank you.
Didn't think I'd enjoy this one once I realized what it was; but after reading the description and a few comments I changed my mind and decided I'd at least try. Thanks for this Hank, your brain is awesome.
