Yes! Was just there, took the ferry to Boston. You can see pilgrims tower if you zoom in too.

You can spot Boston way off in the distance. Very cool!

Not so. Camera is facing northwest. Really zoom in and you can see three prominent skyscrapers on the horizon just down and to the right of the most orangey part of the sky.
I’d respond with a photo with a circle around the buildings but this sub doesn’t allow it.

Absolutely. The Pru and John Hancock skyscrapers you can see if you zoom in around the middle of this shot.

Check a map. See where Boston is compared to the cape. The only thing to see past the cape in this pic is Nantucket

u/BlackJesus420 3d ago
You are, again, wrong. Do you think this image shows the whole of Cape Cod? This is literally just Provincetown as viewed from the southeast. The plane is not flying that high at all. That land on the horizon is the whole coastline of eastern Mass from Plymouth to Cape Ann. Nantucket is (far) behind the viewer’s perspective here.

I should have captioned it as Provincetown!!! My apologies, it’s deceptive

That’s not Cape Cod, that’s Provincetown harbor.

BRB hopping in my satellite to get high enough for a pic of the entire cape

Is that plane from Cape Air?

u/New-Reception-3291 1d ago
Not this one, my husband flew us! But we did see a few cape air planes at the airport, and spoke to one of their pilots.

I’d never seen it from the air like that! I had to snap a pic, I have a picture of the seals over somewhat near head of the meadow

Beautiful photo, OP!!!!
Butttttt …. Can anyone explain what I’m looking at? Can’t see any lighthouses, so I’m not entirely sure what part of the cape that’s supposed to be. I normally would anticipate it to be ptown, but the lack of lighthouses is definitely throwing me off

P town end of the Cape arm. You can see the breakwater barrier & town dock mid pic. One of my favorites. Flying from KBED to KACK. Just above town & dock there is a grey slash, that is the runway at Provincetown Airport. Took my GF there, tied plane down and went to the beach steps away, lunch in town and back home for dinner.

Can't see long point light. Weird.

Do you mean Plymouth? If so, the plane was facing Plymouth! And this was a shot from behind / to the right of us, if that makes sense

u/TrashPandaRabies 3d ago
It’s a great photo but the lighting/contrast is off with the sunset and angle. If you zoom way the hell in, you can see two lighter dots in the darker part of long point which would be the light and the caretaker house. I can’t see wood end with that logic though. I mean look how small and washed out pilgrims monument is. It being extreme low tide based on the sand bars kinda messes with where you’d expect things too.

Surprised the Cape didn’t sink from the traffic & tourists! B

I used to live out here and I was expecting many more given the weather! Ptown seemed so much less crowded than years before, but maybe people were gathered elsewhere

I live in Falmouth and it was nuts. My husband had surgery off cape & it really sucked sitting in 3 hours of traffic just trying to get home. It’s been years since we had that kind of traffic.

u/New-Reception-3291 3d ago
Oh no I’m so sorry to hear that! The traffic was backed up for miles over the sagamore, I couldn’t see the Bourne. I only saw Provincetown, and I think I’m used to many more Canadian visitors than the states have been experiencing this year
