Very very beautiful this sunset, John. You were right to rule out the obvious image of the sun. Looking at the scene you shot gives the mind a more fascinating vision and a more powerful sun.
It was most interesting to me, because the sun shines on the beaches where we live from a different angle. When I took these three pictures on the NJ shore a few days ago, the sun rose due east (straight out of the ocean just about at the mid-way point). Because of the SW/NE axis of Long Island, we never see that at home. I felt like I was seeing a very familiar subject with an entirely new lighting arrangement. 😊
You’re such a master at this kind of image – the light is smooth and transcendent, the composition pleasing, and the icing on the cake is the circles around the clumps of grass.

Thanks Marcello. I agree: the rising (or setting) sun can be quite striking as it illuminates the beach at such a low angle. Appreciate the comment!
Good morning, John. Tank you for the reply.
… thanks to you Marcello! Ciao 👋
🤗🤗. Ciao!
What wonderful light. So glad you caught and shared it.
Thanks Linda.

Interesting! And that makes sense.
Great atmosphere
Thank you Sue… It was a lovely morning but it was freezing. 😊

Thanks Lynn. This time of the year is especially rewarding on the beach because of the long shadows (even at noon).
Yes – here, too, as different as my tiny beach is. It’s much easier than mid-summer!
