After a full day of kayaking along the west side of Washington’s San Juan Island, my stomach was telling me it was time for a well-deserved burger and beer. Thankfully, something else inside me said that I would regret not heading out to Lime Kiln Lighthouse to watch the sunset as I had originally planned. I got to the lighthouse just in time, and found this spot along the shore where the crashing surf rose and fell. The clouds lifted just enough for the sun to light up the sky with a sunset so good that I forgot all about the burger and beer. Prints Available.

The snowy summit of Whiteface Mountain barely pokes above the clouds at dusk. The pink glow in the sky is known as the “Belt of Venus” and is commonly seen on clear days before sunrise and after sunset. It appears 10-20 degrees above the horizon on top of the Earth’s dark blue shadow that’s found just above the horizon, and the crisp low humidity days of winter seem to make this phenomenon appear stronger than other times of the year.

Overcast days on the coast are perfect for wandering the shore in search of interesting colors, patterns, and textures to photograph. On this rainy day in Acadia National Park, I happily spent the afternoon doing just that, and this collection of kelp and stones was one of my favorite finds of the day. Prints Available.
