"The death-bed of a day, how beautiful!"~Philip James Bailey




Photos taken at Rock Harbor, Orleans.

It wasn't the most dramatic sunset I had ever seen but everything about the atmosphere around these shots just screamed summer. There were crowds of people everywhere. . . A reggae band in the background which only added to the excitement. . . the smell of charcoal smoke clung to salty humid air. . . and then the finale; a sunset which, even though it sort of fizzled in the end is still something I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to witness whenever I get the chance.


"The setting sun, 

and music at the close, 
As the last taste of sweets, 
is sweetest last, 
Writ in remembrance 
more than things 
long past."

~William Shakespeare
