| On Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in the town of Dennis, there
is an area known as Bass Hole. It is renowned in the area as a
spectacular place to watch the setting sun. A long boardwalk leads out
to a viewing area, a small deck with benches. The plan for my trip to
Bass Hole was to capture the sun as it approached the horizon. Much to
my disappointment it clouded up and my mental vision never materialized.
As I walked back to the beach and turned around, I could not believe the
color I was witnessing. The sun had gone below the horizon, but was
still illuminating the clouds. At the same moment I spotted a single
sailboat sitting idly in the water. I walked away with a much better
image than the one I expected to capture. |
