Winter Light

The light here is different from anywhere else I've lived. It's most noticable in the winter, when the angle of the sun is so much lower, and particularly near sunset. It can make for some very dramatic scenes.

Here are two photos* that illustrate that beautifully, taken by my friend and sometime-guest, Tom Baratz.

This is Mayo Beach, on the harbor, at sunset:
And this is one of our ocean-side beaches, Newcomb Hollow, also near sunset:

Want to see it for yourself? We're open through the winter, come on down!

Nice that you captured the curling white crest of the waves at Newcomb Hollow Beach. I like that beach for the little food stand at the top of the parking lot. The waves are more intense than Mayo Beach, but Mayo has the Wellfleet Pier.
