Provincetown in the off-season
Photo Essay from the tip of the Cape.
Welcome to The Poet's Perspective. Today I'd like to share some recent photos, taken last Saturday in a foggy Provincetown. The village was characteristically vacant, save for fishermen, quiet locals and a female street performer whose guitar skills were incredible. We visited Sparks, a hip yet inexpensive jewelry shop.
Fog was enveloping MacMillan Wharf and even the tower.
The winter fleet rests.
A Dove Among Pigeons
A peculiar sight greeted us along MacMillan Wharf. A single white dove was attempting to hang out with pigeons. It was the first time I've ever seen a dove in the wild. The symbolism was overwhelming.
Wearing a green plastic band, this dove was soon ushered off by unfriendly pigeons.
If anyone is missing a banded white dove, look in P-Town.

Some trickster subtly changed a street sign.
(also deliciously symbolic)
The Province Lands
No trip to P-Town is complete without visiting the outermost bits.
Believe it or not, this face is a totally random rock formation.
At first we thought some hiker used a pen to draw the face, but closer inspection revealed it to be a natural anomoly. It must be nature's way of telling me to lighten up.
Peace be with you.
The open road awaits

You have to catch that homing pigeon and get the numbers off the band, then you can track the owners down online (yeah, sure!) I got one at Rock Harbor in Orleans that supposedly got off track during a training flight somewhere near Westport. The owner, who looked like a pirate, came to pick up the bird a week later. I found out that many times those birds are rented out for weddings, funerals, etc. and fail to return to the owners after the oohs and ahhs. (The moral being, blow bubbles, leave the birds out of it.)
Thanks for the lovely reminder of another of P-Town's beautiful seasons.
So that's a homing pigeon?
I googled images for white doves, and they seemed to match.
