outcropping Rose from the water a single Heron stood on the peak that broke the shoreline there was something beautiful about sharing things in this old way the two of us walking by the shore the smellof pine sap the summer air cooling the late afternoon for the first time in years I wished I'd had a sketch pad with
Seals, belugas, and salmon migrating earlier and earlier. Shorelines getting swallowed up by the ocean.All of this within a generation.
I let there be 100,000 kilometers of beaches. Shorelines are fractal kind of, and they zigzag in and out.I gave these things 100 meters of depth.
But yet we got to the point where we had the most densely populated linear mile of shoreline in North America for our time in terms of the number of people. And I don't know what that is in kilometers, but it's quite amazing that we developed that in a place that's very hard to eke out a living.
Go for it with everything, because it's the most rewarding thing you could ever do. The audience at Shoreline Amphitheater is like 18,000 people.
faces the Porter Square bookstore. The original shoreline is back almost to Brookline Street, down here towards the BU Bridge.
well um if you watch the shoreline at Lake orille you'll see the change over four years and the shoreline starts to show or everyone cleaning up at Burning Man so nice
cuz Bill Graham built it and that's interesting as a promoter building it cuz it's made me want to go and build one like Shoreline in the UK. Um because I've already started doing Sorry, this is not an answer to a question. I just say it's a really good venue. But what you haven't seen and it's I don't know how quite how you get this here, but the
that much of the interior was thousands of miles from the oceans, from the shoreline . So there were vast deserts covering much of the supercontinent. But the shorelines weren't really that much more hospitable because the shorelines were battered by storms, by what geologists call mega monsoons, which sounds very hyperbolic. But it is what they were. They were supersized monsoon systems.
And when the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant was being built, he came to them in every open hearing and said, you cannot build this nuclear reactor where you are. You are too close to the shoreline . You are too low.
They are providing the basis of this food chain that supports a half a billion people around the world. They're building these reefs that provide shoreline protection and beaches, food from fish-- all kinds of things. So a hugely important ecosystem.
change or the drought in California which I'm sure you guys know all too well um if you watch the shoreline at Lake orille you'll see the change over four years and the shoreline starts to
And like when you go and you sit at the counter where I just ate lunch, and you look down, that's where I did my walking tour for you guys. And then along that same shoreline I do herring tours in the winter, because that whole shoreline just becomes infested with Pacific herring. When they spawn, they spawn right there, and armed with a casting net, you can throw a casting net and get your supply of herring for the year.
I'm sure someone out there is going to point out the remarkable life story of the squid. There were 85,000 seagulls along the shoreline in Tiburon last year.
And as you can see, it worked. But I was nowhere near the shoreline , nowhere near a shipyard. I never saw a ship under construction.
So I'm really grateful to be back, and I just-- I remember Silicon Valley when 237 was a two-lane highway and the biggest thing here in Mountain View was Shoreline Ampitheater. So it's changed a lot.
is they brought in this alleged suspect maybe to consult, maybe to just be there to kind of give them atmospherics, but he was in arrested in Pula Croatia on the shoreline where production had just moved. And so it seems like there is a direct connection here. A friend of mine said this sounds like like Argo, but really in that case the Argo case that
And so we didn't plan how or where we're going to get our food the next day. And yet we developed the most densely populated linear mile of shoreline in all of North America. It was quite amazing.
So we take the submarine away from the shoreline .
So that's Burine, Shoreline , Beaux Arts, Maple Valley, Woodinville, Muckleshoot Reservation, and a bunch more
out the window thinking about Katie I walked to my station alone every day and sat on the train with my sketch pad drawing the details I remembered from our trip to Maine the shoreline with its broken shells and sunlight the Heron before it took flight Katie's face in the summer Darkness it's the intangible details
This is filled with humorous haikus and poems and funny anecdotes about some of the strange things that I've eaten and hunted on the shoreline . In other words, it's not a piece of science.
I'm sure someone out there is going to point out the remarkable life story of the squid. And this is the fish that spawns on the shoreline .
I'm sure someone out there is going to point out the remarkable life story of the squid. when the herring are lighting up the whole shoreline , and you'll see like 25 seals in the water.
I'm sure someone out there is going to point out the remarkable life story of the squid. But then they start moving in towards the shoreline and, eh, there's cables and sewer lines and ships.
I'm sure someone out there is going to point out the remarkable life story of the squid. And they set the gill nets up next to the shoreline where they think the herring are about to move in and lay
It was kind of fun driving down the shoreline , because I used to work at about two blocks from here 20 years ago.
Hands up if it makes you feel better to know that the shoreline was right there next to you.
And she felt like there was hope, that shoreline was right next to her and she kept on.
faces the Porter Square bookstore. This is Kendall Square, or the Cambridgeport shoreline in 1847.
He has his book out, "The Shoreline of Wonder: On Being Creative." It'll be available after the talk for $10.00.
The band Phish, shut down at Shoreline right down the street here.
to Tracey about 20 years ago I came and saw the Grateful Dead at Shoreline . And after a concert any one of us can climb in a car, "I need a right home." Or you climb in a car
I mean, though you can work venues like Shoreline , which is still wonderful.
were kept in check by the weather, by the climate. When it comes to the physical environment, Pangaea was not an easy place to live, not at all. This enormous supercontinent was so big that much of the interior was thousands of miles from the oceans, from the shoreline . So there were vast deserts covering much of the supercontinent. But the shorelines weren't really that much more hospitable because the shorelines were battered by storms, by what geologists call mega monsoons,
they are a royal pain in the arse to unhook, especially the big ones on a windy day with a strong outgoing tide on a 10 foot sit on top kayak. But the strange thing was, everywhere I went that day it was the same-- along rocky shoreline , under the peers, out in the open water, leopard shark after leopard shark after leopard shark.
I'm sure someone out there is going to point out the remarkable life story of the squid. It's a miracle that it's even here when we consider that 2/3 of the original shoreline -- well, 2/3, it's more 2/3 of the original shoreline
I'm sure someone out there is going to point out the remarkable life story of the squid. But even if you're not going to, what goes on along the shoreline when there's a herring spawn-- it's so bizarre to me to walk down the Embarcadero
I'm sure someone out there is going to point out the remarkable life story of the squid. And then seaweed, I cover all the basic seaweeds along our shoreline .
The larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder.
that need to be developed before U.S. influence begins to draw back and the shoreline and all of its little conflicts that are centuries old bubble up again.
We're amazed that after 20 years that we still get to come out and play Shoreline Amphitheater.
I grew up in California and one year I lived actually in Mountain View and I remember when they built Shoreline Amphitheater and to think that I play that place now with my job is
the time there was some storm, some little bit of the coastline and you ripped out, it would go out in the water, nothing would come of it. But maybe every once in a while there would be a Hail Mary play and that raft of vegetation carrying these monkeys and these rodents would reach thousands of miles away and they would have a new shoreline to colonize. And that is what happened and I think it is one of the most incredible stories of evolution. We wouldn't know about it if we didn't have the genetics and the fossils together to tell us that story. After the asteroid hit,
used this same Hudson River as a corridor for transporting pelts and fish, to the modern day, where there are 20 million people who live near the edges of its shoreline
Where Curiosity is sitting, Gale Crater, is on the ancient shoreline where a crater happened and created this large hole in the ground, for which the ocean
She built a spreading bay city like Kavekana, with a mountain behind it like Kavekana'ai, and studded the shoreline with pebble statue Penitents
I'm sure someone out there is going to point out the remarkable life story of the squid. anywhere. I think that in their little herring brains, the thing they would love more than anything is an entire shoreline filled with the eelgrass,
That's why I titled my book, actually, after many years of thinking about it, "The Shoreline of Wonder: On Being Creative." It comes from a quote from a Methodist minister,
And anyways, this person said, "The larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder."
