Montauk Lighthouse
On the summer solstice I was playing hooky on Montauk Point, Long Island, New York. Thanks to the remnants of tropical storm Bill, the morning of June 21st brought thunderstorms and overcast skies. But June 22nd was a very different story.

Beautiful day, beautiful photos. Love the ones with the sunset lighting on the beach.
lovely, the deer are something this year aren’t they? All the rain I imagine.
Beautifully captured images of our “ordinary” world!
What a lovely place. Very atmospheric photos.
Gorgeous.
Beautiful images Melissa, you captured the light and colour perfectly with poignant light contrasts! Great photography!
Melissa,
Your pictures are stunning! You have a great eye! Continue to enjoy your camera.

A most rewarding solstice indeed! Taking in all these excellent shots is like the birthday dinner I didn’t get, with a 5-star chef serving up marvels from the catch of the day. 🙂
Beautiful photographs. How I miss the sights, sounds, and smells of the ocean.
Oh, those pictures are breathtaking! I love the one of the lighthouse draped with fog. You really captured the magic of the place.
Thank you.Yes, that lighthouse was doing its job!
Stunning photographs…. I really liked them dear Melissa!.

Wow, Melissa. I wish I had your eye. Truly stunning!
