The bluff house, Swept Away, is being moved now. Last week we had noticed more undercutting close to the house and tonight, we found the patio had finally fallen. It is being moved back 20 feet to allow for a little more time at this location.A house was lost on Smith’s Point due to the [...]
We have a new fine art folio of our project, Questions of Privilege, about Nantucket’s ‘Sconset Bluff. The folio includes photographs of the southern end of the bluff which retains its gentle slopes and the northern end which has been ravaged by erosion this year. This project was photographed from October 18, 2009 to March [...]
Saturday, I returned to ‘Sconset beach. It was a beautiful sunny day. I waited for a period of low tide to make it safe to venture into this area of the beach as there is no way to quickly exit. I haven’t been down in this part of the beach for 9 days and I [...]
We spent a few hours on Sconset Beach last evening when low tides allowed us access. You have to be as careful below the bluff as you are on top as there are large, unstable areas that are poised to fall.

I went out this evening during a nor’easter. The winds made shooting difficult. I’m adding a few more views of edge erosion and one of the sign at the end of the bluff walk. Please click on the photograph to see a larger image.
There has been more flooding, high winds and damaging tides along the bluff that have resulted in more of the bluff falling to the beach below. We put together a slide show you can see by clicking on the photo below or following this linK: Click for Slide Show
We have been on the bluff the last couple of nights as another storm has created coastal flooding. There is more evidence of damage as fresh dirt slides are obvious along the bluff. It is becoming increasingly unsafe from the area north of the end of the bluff walk. The top of the bluff is [...]
Coastal flooding today is adding to the erosion from the bluff. I’ll post more later. Here are a couple from today. Click on the picture to see a larger version.
