If you enjoy the beach, here in Southern Maine, and you are a local, you go early or you go late. During the day, there are no parking spaces…they are all filled with folks from away who are trying determinedly to pack a full Maine experience into 6 days, and living out of a motel. It is great for the economy, of course. It just means we locals only see the beach and the dunes and the ocean at their best light 🙂

This was late: 6:47 PM according to the clock on my camera. The light is low and lovely. The Timothy Hay is ripe and ready for cutting (they had already started at the other end of the field). The avenue of maples along the road is standing, as they have for generations, sentry over the whole. And just enough clouds, out over the ocean, to give the sky a bit of interest. Lovely all together!

Samsung Smart Camera WB250F in Rich Tone (HDR) mode. 24mm equivalent field of view. Nominally f3.2 @ 1/250th @ ISO 100 (nominal because it is actually three exposures combined…I assume the recorded exif is for the “middle” exposure). Processed in PicSay Pro on the Samsung Galaxy S4.
