Notes:
…
not
the body itself
a lighthouse—
the body:
such thin skin
and gold beneath—
– Rachel Richardson, from A Brief History of the Whale Fishery in Hundred-Year Wave
Notes:
“Leonardo Da Costa is a lighthouse keeper stationed in Cabo Polonio, a remote cape in a stretch of Uruguayan coastline rich in shipwrecks and sunken treasures. Cabo Polonio’s light has been guiding ships since 1881, and Da Costa is the latest in a long line of watchmen who have operated the tower with care and attention. He leads an unassuming life, the tranquility of the almost intact landscape keeping him company. Serenity and silence merge with the daily tasks and chores he carries out. Da Costa represents a rare profession that still survives in a few countries. Take some time to appreciate a gentle and enlightening way of life, for once it is gone, it will be missed.”

I have been following David’s blog @ David R. Wetzel’s Photography. In addition to being a “semi-professional photographer”, I learned that David is an author, a writer and a painter. (Oh, if I could become a Master in just one of his exceptional talents.) David was kind enough to let me share two of his paintings that grabbed my immediate attention. While David currently resides in Alabama, he has managed to transport me to another place and time for a few minutes this evening. I do have that Summer Feeling.
