Looking northeast from the entrance of North Cove Harbor towards the CT River. This pier stands on what was once a rail causeway in the late 1800’s, connecting Saybrook Point to the Old Saybrook railroad station at the north end of town.

I returned here a few days after taking this photo, at about the same time of the day, and the backlight on the smoke bush was again spectacular.
A man was standing where I had been, clutching a large drawing pad and furiously sketching the scene before it shifted.

Turns out they’re coreopsis, surrounded by milkweed and white columbine.
