The Pier Portaits... a photo of photos

PROVINCETOWN — A large-format photograph of fishing family matriarch Frances Raymond has returned to Provincetown Marina, joining four other portraits of Portuguese women that comprise "They Also Faced The Sea," an outdoor art installation that has weathered many storms.

The images depict the late Almeda Segura, whose photograph faces the water on the pier building, and then, from left to right as viewed from MacMillan Pier, are Eva Silva, Mary Jason, Bea Cabral and Frances Raymond.

1. These are fascinating portraits, my dear justaprogressive!

And a bit of history too.

It makes me think of the old saying: "They also serve who sit and wait." These women surely did that, hoping that their loved ones would return safely home to them.

Thank you for sharing!
