This is such a wonderful video. I had gone to Provincetown on many occasions, One of the things I enjoyed most was waking up very early and taking a leisurely bike ride through this part of town. Just looking at the beautiful homes and smelling the sea air listening to the birds. Provincetown truly is a magical place.
It really is. It had been 20+ years since I'd last been there and at the time, for whatever reason, I never really thought about it again. And then, we went there this year and spent a long weekend and I loved it so much. I'll definitely be back soon.
In many respects that depicted as picturesque scenery (architecture) reveals something about the isolation, individualism, and loneliness of its present though unseen year-round residents. The few who are out and about, either at the earliest, or latest hours are tourists driven to absorb, inhale, bear witness to, and live, if only temporarily, in a peaceful, judgement free atmosphere otherwise taken for granted by those who call it home. A community is much more than measure of latitude, longitude, antiqued architecture, gardens and greenery. Provincetown is an idea, collective of the few economically capable of evading intolerance, stupidity, ignorance, and worse elsewhere on the planet, a refuge warranting nothing less than round-the-clock celebration.
I think a lot of what you talk about is reflected in the Provincetown art museum...seeing all of the art from the year-round residents really echoes this.

This was great. 👍🏻
Thank you! 😁
We were there at the end of June had a great time.
Beautiful video, really nice ambiance, scenery. Did you do the walk really early in the morning?
