CA: Pacific Grove- Point Pinos Lighthouse

The day was long driving through Big Sur, walking around Carmel By the Sea, hiking the shore of Point Lobos. But alas, there was still the opportunity for a sunset. I am drawn by reflections. I am drawn by the clouds in the water. I am drawn by the clouds above the sun. Everyone elseContinue reading “CA: Pacific Grove- Point Pinos Lighthouse”

CT: Fairfield County- Fairfield-Sasco Hill (Winter Sunset)

The wreath otherwise reminded us of December at almost 60 degrees as the sun was setting on the beach.

An exceptional weather day for mid October in Connecticut at 79 degrees! The sunset was stunning through a lengthy and beautiful afterglow finish.
