Another image from yesterday's first snow storm of the year in the northeast. This was shortly after sunrise from the opposite direction of my last post, as the clouds caught some nice color during a crack in the clouds along the eastern horizon. Snow melts so rapidly along the coast, especially this early in the year so I was happy to get some snow in the image to make it clearly a winter image. Waiting for the right set of waves and swells during this light was just a bit of good luck.

Another outstanding capture. Boy you timed your visit for the optimum impact. Great wave action.

Thanks Patricia. The sky became more colorful after sunrise, which I didn't expect given the forecast for clearing at sunrise. Sometimes the first visit somewhere ends up being the best conditions. I have been shutout at many subsequent attempts at locations, always hoping to improve on an original capture - which never happens.

Another nice look at the lighthouse. You got some great conditions and made the most of them.

This one is even nicer than the previous one. The snow on rocks and the sweet sunrise are wonderful.

A classic composition of this lighthouse with great weather conditions and lighting plus a big bonus for the snow capped rocks. Excellent exposure and clarity in this shot, Harry! One of the best I've seen of this lighthouse!
