Marina, Old Saybrook, CT

marina-4137

I have a kayak and had a canoe, but beyond that the allure of the boating life is pretty much lost on me. On this night though, with low humidity, a low dew point and a full moon rising, a bit of the magic came through.

north cove sunset-4081

The remarkable colors of this sunset (photo not retouched in any way) are probably a result of the wildfires burning out in the Pacific Northwest and western Canada this summer, and the east-west flow of particulate matter. I first noticed this effect in 1991, weeks after Mt. Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines, when the sunset sky here in the Northeast turned a soft, otherworldly purple for some time.

view from saybrook point-3966

This is where the CT River (flowing from the left) dumps into the sea. The southern edge of Old Lyme, including Great Island, is the land mass.

cliffs of moher-

Cause you can’t have too many shots of this majestic place. Actually there was a similar view which I can’t find at the moment (slide film and all), taken closer to the edge and showing a young (maybe 10 year old) kid on a small outcropping about 30 feet down from the foreground you see here. He had climbed over the edge with no safety gear whatsoever (well not counting perhaps the most valuable of all – his proprioceptive system – but still), and seemed totally comfortable there, as apparently did mom – standing near the edge with one eye on him and the other on the view.
