I went to Cape Henlopen State Park tonight searching for a late afternoon/sunset photograph. The East End Light usually provides an interesting setting at this time of the day, but tonight the added element of men and boys with a seine net working the shallows was the perfect finish to the day. Thank you to them.

It snowed this evening and I went out into the woods behind my house to light up the snow as it fell through the trees.

This photo was actually taken in August. Looking back over some inages from the past year, this struck me as one I should share.

It is appropriate, I suppose, to post the last sunrise and sunset of the calendar year on New Years Eve. The sun rise was “sailors take warning”, red sky and calm wind. The front came through and the sunset was a “sailors delight”.
