Sunset Watcher

Uploaded: December 02, 2010

Description

I took this just over a year ago at Bass Harbor Head in Maine on a very cold evening. The sunset was lovely but not spectacular; however, that did not stop all the crazies (yours truly included) from scrambling down and perching on these rocks for over an hour to enjoy it.

I let my crazy hubby do it while I watched, but I admit it was tempting! Beautiful capture of one of my favorite lighthouses, Nikki! #9075826

Ah, yes, I was there once and did the same scrambling down, but unfortunately that was before my digital camera days. This is a lovely exposure, and I enjoy the watcher in the frame too. #9076297
