I raised my camera and pointed it at the sailboats sheltered on the cove. The island looked desolate save for the few scattered homes and a row of houses at the edge of the ocean (as shown in the photograph). I had never seen those before. I tried to imagine living in one of those homes. Through sun, rain, and snow. It's just so wild. How does one go about living on an island?

The house look like they are floating in your photo. !LOLZ
is it a small island?
Yes, it is a small island with a few homes. There is a big island with large cities, but there are a few smaller ones around like this one. It looks like a beautiful place to enjoy some natural wonders.
Yes, it would probably be very quiet with only the sound of the ocean waves and maybe a foghorn in the night. It looks like an interesting place.
Saludos @litguru It would be interesting to live isolated from everything, convinced of wanting to write thoughts that come from the void where all creators live. Living, breathing in the window, with brushes and canvases, and a great love to share the mystery of silence, of words and movements. Accept the wild state of nature. Also, from time to time, cross the sea to go for wines. And on the island, at night you can feel your hair growing, in front of a bonfire, under the moon and the stars.
Those homes have big glass windows, so they have a great view of the ocean. I do like the image of me sitting there with a laptop or notebook writing my latest article. It would be inspiring. Wine would also be perfect. 😎
Beautiful capture @litguru.
I wonder the same things, and also wonder if those homes are modern builds or have an "old world" look to them. With some of them you have to get up close to determine their alleged age.
Thanks, man!
There are different styles of homes there, but I would say "west coast" style is predominant. This means a lot of wood (like cedar) and glass for the nice views. I've seen both old and modern. Some of those houses look like they belong to people with $$$ (summer homes or retirement hideout perhaps). There are a lot retirees, new age folk, artists, craftspeople, weedtrepreneurs, indigenous people, hippies, students, fishermen, and so on scattered throughout the Gulf islands, so they're very unique places.
That is very cool man.
I've been on this architecture history thing lately, regarding the narrative we're provided about the worldwide construction during the mid 1800's through early 1900's for massive stonework marvels.(Comprising some of the brick home mansions)
There's a lot of dedicated researchers out there looking at the history we have in the form of photographs, documents, and videos. The conclusions are a little unsettling when we come to realize that things like the Chicago World Fair 1893, boasting 690 acres of "temporary" construction for temporary use, pulled off by horse and buggy low population migrants trying to find their way, yet somehow had the ability to do all of this construction that we certainly cannot emulate today with much higher advancement in big machinery tech might not be true.
No credit to the artisans, only the businessmen geniuses who were "architects" and apparently didn't want to leave those amazing blueprints behind or credit the ridiculous numbers of skilled stone mason artisans it would have taken to pull off. The blueprints do not exist and neither do the names of the skilled masons. Only photos of horse and buggy people with rubble on the ground for their building supplies, not staged or organized in any fashion other than rubble, and lots of scaffolding photos around already built structures with vanilla sky white outs of the roof to make it look like active construction when the buildings were clearly already old in the photos.
It's super cool how Wikipedia maintains the historical records for us to analyze.
Maybe a slight digression here lol, but I just love this topic and find the idea fascinating that we (humans) in our current form, may not have built a lot of structures and underground tunnel networks that we claim to have built during our technological infancy.
