Sunset Serenity at Portland Head

Post image 1

"Sunset Serenity at Portland Head" presents Portland Head Light standing resolute on Cape Elizabeth’s rocky promontory as a warm band of sunset slips beneath heavy, moody clouds. The composition contrasts the jagged texture of the foreground granite with the smooth sweep of Casco Bay.

Oh wow!! What a study in contrasts...the brooding sky and soft beacon of hope (in the sunset AND the lightkeeper's light), the jagged cliffs juxtaposed with the softness of the sky..... Just beautiful and even painterly! Love this!

That thin band of pink and orange feels like a stranger things vibe. Perfect timing 🌅 Tom!

I have one of these but not nearly as dramatic! Love the colors!

Portland Head Light has stood through so much history, and you've captured that quiet permanence beautifully against the drama of those clouds.
