Provincetown Harbor
I wasn’t even sure I was going to do a photo hunt for August, when WHAM, inspiration struck. I know it isn’t August yet, but this post needed to be written while the inspiration was with me, and I started thinking that a little heads up on this one could probably be helpful.
Let me back up and explain my inspiration. I was over at Dawn’s blog this morning and I read this post. She referred to Point Pelee in Canada as “the end of the earth.” I immediately thought of the area that I have always thought of as “the end of the earth” – Provincetown, Massachuesetts. It is the very tip of Cape Cod sticking out into the Atlantic Ocean. That got me thinking about geography and whether there is a place that other people consider “the end of the earth” and wouldn’t that be a cool thing for a photo hunt?
Sure it would, but that might not make it easy for a lot of folks to participate in a photo hunt – and that of course is what I like best about photo hunts, having lots of participation. So how could I tweak this “end of the earth” idea to fit a photo hunt?
Here’s what I’ve come up with. Show me the place that is “the end of the earth” for you OR show me some of the “extremes” of your city, town, area, state, province or favorite vacation spot. Take a photo at the highest spot, the lowest spot, the northernmost, southernmost, westernmost or easternmost point. If you can think of another “extreme” that I haven’t included here, please share it in the comments. You choose how many photos you would like to share.
Because of the nature of this assignment and the fact that you may have already traveled to somewhere that you’d like to feature for your photo hunt, please feel free to use archived photos for your post. Assignment due date will be the very end of August, Friday the 31st. As usual, leave me the link to your post in the comments of this post. I should be able to get the round up posted over Labor Day weekend.
I’d love to have lots of participation in this assignment, so if you’d do me the favor of helping to spread the word I’d be very appreciative!

What a fun challenge. I’ll be interested to see the places people come up with.

I hope you’ll take part too, Sybil. I’ll bet there’s some interesting places you could photograph in your area.
Comment by Karma — July 25, 2012 @ 8:26 am |
This should be very interesting. Thanks for letting us post photos previously taken as I have a couple I can think of but I’m definitely not going to see these places again … especially before the end of August! 🙂

Here are my submissions Karen – waaaayyyy ahead of deadline. 🙂 http://lynneayersbeyondthebrush.wordpress.com/2012/07/24/photo-hunt-end-of-the-earth/
Comment by Lynne Ayers — July 24, 2012 @ 6:26 pm |
Thanks for your early enthusiasm Lynne! Maybe since you’ve created this early post with archived photos, you can think about doing another post with some new photos during August?
Comment by Karma — July 25, 2012 @ 8:27 am
I’ll be givng that some thought Karen.
Comment by Lynne Ayers — July 25, 2012 @ 11:19 am
Oh fun! I have a couple of photos previously taken in mind, and I will think about this post every photo opportunity for the next month.
Comment by Carol — July 24, 2012 @ 1:47 pm |
Cool, Carol. I’ll look forward to it.
Comment by Karma — July 25, 2012 @ 8:27 am |
Oh, I think I have something coming up which will fit right in with this idea which, by the way, is a very inspirational one.
Ah, Provincetown, only been there once and that was so long ago. A true Ends of the Earth view.
Comment by Scott Thomas Photography — July 24, 2012 @ 3:03 pm |
Thanks Scott. I think it is going to be really neat to see what people choose to photograph.
That Provincetown shot was taken from the top of Pilgrim Monument. I haven’t been out that way for a few years, and I do have a hankering to go back.
Comment by Karma — July 25, 2012 @ 8:29 am |
I found a few archived photos. I am going to try and find a couple of new locations next week. Wish me luck!

LOVE this one, Karma! I have lots of photos to choose from for this, but will continue to think about the extremes of where I live. This will be fun. 🙂
Comment by Robin — July 24, 2012 @ 6:47 pm |
Yay! I’m glad you like the idea. People seem to be getting into this one pretty quickly!
Comment by Karma — July 25, 2012 @ 8:30 am |
Hmmmm….now how unfair is it that you got your inspiration from ME and I don’t know how I’m going to approach this! 🙂 I have lots of places I’ve been that seem like the end of the earth, last weekend included…but since I won’t be near any of those, and I like to try something new…I’ll think about what the extreme place might be right here at home…I think. You are on crafty challenge designer! Thanks for doing that!
Comment by Dawn — July 24, 2012 @ 9:02 pm |
Thanks for the inspiration, Dawn. Funny how one little phrase can turn into something else. Since I was a kid I remember thinking of Provincetown as the end of the earth, so I think it will be very cool to see other “ends”!
Comment by Karma — July 25, 2012 @ 8:31 am |
All fixed. I think! 🙂
Comment by Dawn — July 29, 2012 @ 10:44 am |
Thanks again, Dawn. 🙂

What a good idea for a photo hunt, Karma. I may already have a photo that illustrates…although Michaela may have seen it and will use it for her own. This may involve a search in the photos. We’ll see. A really good idea, though!
Comment by Kathy — July 29, 2012 @ 1:03 pm |
Great, Kathy! I’d love to see what you come up with. I think Michaela is taking a blogging break, so she probably won’t use the photo you are thinking of unless it involves her little friend Trevor!

[…] For her August photo hunt, Karma asks us to show her the “end of the earth” or what we think of as the end of the earth. I know some of you have seen the above photo in the past, but I hauled it out again because to me, this truly was the first time I looked at a scene as the end of the earth. It is a place where earth and sky meet, and although I know you can go much higher than this and still remain on earth, it was the highest I’ve ever been and still had my feet firmly placed on terra firma. (Well, maybe not as firmly as I’d like to think since the Rocky Mountain high due to altitude was making me feel lightheaded and floaty.) […]
