I found a new spot today to enjoy the sunrise. It is located very close to my gym, so I'll be spending some pre-workout time trying to capture some new views of the sunrise.
As an added bonus, there is a beautiful oceanfront field that benefits greatly from the changing light - does it remind anyone else of "Christina's World" by Andrew Wyeth?
Last night there was a double treat at dusk. A very lovely sunset which I watched at Hardings Beach, here in Chatham and then about 15 minutes after the sun had actually set, the waxing crescent moon became visible, also in the western sky. The moon set was about an hour after the sunset which allowed about 30 minutes of twilight dusk to be able to take hand held pictures. What a magnificent sky.
I hoped to get down to the Lighthouse earlier then I did to get a picture of the Lighthouse with the light of the beam visible against the earlier sky. But I also realized that the air was much too clear and the reflection I was seeking was just that, the light reflecting off of air particles, probably early morning ice crystals. I had captured this about a month ago, totally unexpected, and was hoping to get a similar picture from a better angle. Fortunately, there will be many more mornings watching the sunrise at the Lighthouse.
Here is the picture that I had taken in August.
