Cape's mild countenance

Dunes on Sandy Neck on Cape Cod.

“Although it can be violent and fierce in a gale, or inscrutable and even threatening when shrouded in fog, the familiar countenance of Cape Cod is general and moderate, even touchingly vulnerable, like a set of cherished features deteriorating in the rain of time.’’

-- Robert Finch, in The Cape Itself (1991)
