The sky was mostly clouded over as I made my way toward the beach in the early morning, but the dawn’s early light helped me to see the wooden pathway through the dune grass at Old Orchard Beach in Maine. Although I couldn’t see the sun itself, a reddish glow was reflected on the clouds and sometimes onto the water.
It was a fun challenge to try to capture the beautiful light in different ways, from the very realistic to the almost abstract.

Nice to see you doing some seascapes, Mike. Lovely light.
Very nice timing on the waves photo, Mike.
Love that first image, Mike. I hope to see more of your eloquent landscapes.
Thanks, Gary. I have never given my thought to shooting landscapes, but I think I may now make a conscious effort to do so. The mental process of making a landscape image is so different from the way I approach an insect, bird, or animal.
