Atlantic Face
The Whitehead Cliffs rise steeply from Monhegan Island, their pale stone standing stark against the deep blue Atlantic. Waves strike the base of the cliffs, marking the boundary of land and sea.
Rugged headland waits—each wave is both strike and caress.
Land and sea embrace in endless conversation.
This photograph captures the Whitehead Cliffs of Monhegan Island, where rugged stone drops sharply into the Atlantic. Sunlit rock, weathered vegetation, and restless surf embody the meeting of enduring land and ceaseless sea. Taken on Sep. 16, 2025.
White cliffs against blue,
the Atlantic speaks below,
land holds its silence.
Rugged headland waits,
tide upon tide carves its song,
stone remembers all.
Edge of earth and sea,
island leans into the wind,
waves bow and return.
