The sky was clear and blue with the temperatures comfortable. Definitely sunset weather. Overlook or beach . . . I decided to try lighthouse park since there are so many structures to play with light and colors. Trees, plants, pavilion and an iron tower each provided that opportunity. I placed the lens ball on theContinue reading “CT: New Haven County- New Haven- Lighthouse Point”

CT: New Haven County- Milford – Gulf Beach (sunset)
I am sucker for a good sunset. Gulf Beach in Milford is a resident only parking beach but in the Fall the sunsets a bit earlier and parking is open. A year ago today, before this blog, is when I went. A reminder of the pandemic times on display to keep everyone safe at entry.Continue reading “CT: New Haven County- Milford – Gulf Beach (sunset)”
CT: Fairfield County- Darien- Pear Tree Point (Driveup Sunset)
Post Labor Day is the start of my “sunset season” as areas previously available to residents only are now available to all! I parked and faced the sun as it fell behind a low long cloud that fell behind the trees. As I watched people leave the lot in discouragement, I decided to sit andContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County- Darien- Pear Tree Point (Driveup Sunset)”
NY- Catskills Region- Ashokan Reservoir (Sunset)
I chase sunsets and love to go to see them in different places and find unique perspectives. In the Catskills I read to go to Ashokan reservoir and just stop your car. I stopped the car on the side of the road, climbed over a barrier and stepped on my glasses to get these cellContinue reading “NY- Catskills Region- Ashokan Reservoir (Sunset)”
RI-Newport-Battery Park Sunset
I was given a local tip for a sunset location in Newport away from the crowds and I found it perfect. I knew it would be fun as I approached as I best enjoy locations which offer other areas of focus in addition the sun. I ran around the park trying to get the sunContinue reading “RI-Newport-Battery Park Sunset”
CT: Fairfield County- Darien (Sunset)
For those that chase sunsets, locations can be a challenge when you live on the east coast and are not on the water. I enjoy finding viewing opportunities in unexpected places and I’m always on the lookout. As I walked out to my car from Equinox Darien the night before a storm, I was drawnContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County- Darien (Sunset)”
CT: Fairfield County-Stratford- Lordship Seawall (Winter Sunset)
The sun took a while to set. It shared so many colors and seemed to brighten further before finally saying good night. I took advantage of its hesitation. There were many vehicles parked along the Seawall waiting for tonight’s sun. I loved catching the sun’s reflecting in the beach houses. The water was crashing againstContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County-Stratford- Lordship Seawall (Winter Sunset)”
CT: Fairfield County- Westport- Compo Beach (Winter Sunset)
A warm clear night in March 2021, I drove to Compo Beach while I still can (in season it’s for residents only). This time I sought a new perspective for the setting sun. One sunset, four perspectives. I parked and walked on the perimeter of the grounds. I saw a patch of wheat grass andContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County- Westport- Compo Beach (Winter Sunset)”
CT: Fairfield County- Norwalk- Calf Pasture Beach (Winter Sunset)
It can be pretty darn magical to take a stroll around Calf Pasture beach as the sun sets and the colorful time following. Some people, however, don’t believe in magic. Recognize I am not a photographer but I can share approaches I have used to capture the more colorful or unusual shots. I have mentionedContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County- Norwalk- Calf Pasture Beach (Winter Sunset)”
CT: Fairfield County: Stratford- Long Beach (off-Season Sunset)
Favorite winter activities are chasing icicles and “forbidden” sunsets. Capturing sunsets during the off season at locations that are otherwise for residents only. This evening brought me to Long Beach in Stratford. It was 25 degrees today but the windchill was around 15! But I had not seen a recent sunset so darn it ifContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County: Stratford- Long Beach (off-Season Sunset)”
