Marblehead Lighthouse

On a recent trip to Put in Bay on South Bass Island in Lake Erie we had to stop at one of my favorite lighthouses, the Lighthouse at Marblehead Point.

Sun Rises on the North Coast 1

Sunrise at Marblehead Point in Ohio on the shore of Lake Erie. I love the rocky coastline here. It is one of my favorite places on the Lake Erie coast.

Sunrise at Pemaquid Point

The lighthouse at Pemaquid Point is one of the most photographed places in all of Maine. It is easy to see why. The rocky shoreline is breathtaking.

End of the Sail

Taken in Bar Harbor, Maine immediately after enjoying a sunset sail on the four masted schooner Margaret Todd. By the way the sail was fantastic.

Morning on the Acadia Coast

Taken along the PArk Loop Road in Acadia National Park in Maine. Spectacluar doesn't even begin to describe the ladscape aolong the coase.

Boulder Beach in Morning Light

In Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island in Maine there is a beach along the coast consisting of these wonderfully round boulders. It was an overcast morning and the mountains were covered in fog so I headed down the Park Loop Road and hoped for the best. I reached this beach and despite the gray skies I began the very slow, careful trek across these very slippery boulders towards the sea. After 15 minutes I finally reached the waterline. As I was setting up my tripod I was blessed as the sky opened and my efforts were rewarded as the rocky coast was suddenly bathed in this glorious light. I was overcame with a sense of gratiude for the opportunities I have had to experience the beauty of nature. What a lucky man I am.

The Charm of Stonington

Far away from the crowds and the tourist destinations of Maine lies a small fishing village on Deer Isle. Stonington is perhaps the quintessential Maine village with its abundance of lobster boats and as pictured here the typical charming houses of New England.

Starting Anew

As I witnessed this glorious event, I was overwhelmed with a sense of peace. The troubles of the previous day being washed away with every wave. The day starting anew and my spirit revitailzed.

Beach on Fire

Taken on the beach in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina before sunrise. My last couple times out at sunrise I had arrived a little late, just in time to catch the sun crossing the horizon. I was determined not to miss the magic on this morning. So I set my alarm for an hour before sunrise and headed down to the beach and waited. It was certainly worth the effort because about 20 minutes before the sun rose I was treated to a magical scene. For a brief moment the sky was set ablaze as if the beach in the distance was on fire. I was in awe as I witnessed this glory of nature.

Ocean Blvd Come to Life

The heart of Myrtle Beach, SC is Ocean Blvd. As the sun sets the lights come on and the beach comes to life with an air of vibrancy and excitement.

Nighttime at the Pier

Back at the 2nd Ave Pier in Myrtle Beach. The beach at night is one of my favorite places. It so peaceful and quiet, quite a difference from the action and excitement of the beach during the day.

Standing Strong

Another view of the 2nd Avenue Pier in Myrtle Beach. From this angle and thiese lighting conditions this pier conveys the feeling of strength to me.

Anticipation of Summer

As the sun rose over the water the beach just seemed to be waiting to come alive with the approach of summer.

Evening Calm

Taken at Headlands Beach State Park on Lake Erie in Ohio.

Drama Over Lake Erie

This was taken at Headlands Beach on Lake Erie. I was moved by the dramatic look of the sky. It only lasted a moment. But in that moment I was reminded of the sheer beauty that you can find in this world if you just look.

Gloomy Morning

Taken at the 2nd Ave Pier in Myrtle Beach SC. We went out to shoot a sunrise at the pier instead we got a rainy, gloomy morning. Sometimes you have to just go with what you are handed. I ended up likng how the mist formed at the bottom of the pier. It really adds to the gloomy almost spooky feeling.
