I stopped at Willard Beach first thing on my sunrise quest this morning. It was around 6:30 and the colors were just beginning to develop. It was quite peaceful and tranquil there, with only one woman out walking her dog in the near-dark. This was about a 10 second exposure.

Portland Head Light January 2014 Sunrise
New shot from dawn at Portland Head Light this morning! The cold snap is over, sadly, and I missed all the sea mist of the negative zero temperatures of the week past. But I'm quite happy with the beautiful light and clouds I saw this morning.

East End Dock Pilings at Dawn
This is a croporama (one image, cropped in vertically to create a panoramic effect) of the old dock pilings just off the boat launch at Portland's East End Beach. Taken moments before the sun rose above the clouds on the horizon on New Year's Day 2014.
East End Bandstand on New Year's Day 2014
My husband and I got out of bed at 6 am after staying up until after midnight for the New year's celebration and we headed over to Portland's Eastern Promenade to see the sunrise. The bandstand or band shell in the little park looked so cozy and pretty, faintly silhouetted and wrapped in the colors of Civil Twilight. (It was NOT a cozy temperature, despite how warm it looks--it was below zero!) Happy New Year all!

You could also go directly to the site by clicking on the Lulu.com button at the top right of my page next to the beginning of this post, which looks like this:
I'm very pleased with it because it's actually quite affordable. I've designed calendars before and basically lost money because I didn't want to charge too much, but with this company, I'm able to offer the calendars for $20.00, which is about what I expect to pay for a good wall calendar.

Sunday on Orr's and Bailey Islands & Chance to win a matted print!
 | ||
| A 21 image handheld panorama taken from the road above Mackerel Cove on Bailey Island on Sunday. I love the way the Cove curves around all the boats in such an embracing way. | . |
 |
| Once again, Mackerel Cove, but taken from across the golden rod field. |
 |
| This is a 15 image handheld panorama of Lowell Cove on Orr's Island. The light wasn't quite as pretty as in the other two panoramas, but it's also a very sweet little cove and I fully intend on making Orr's and Bailey Islands my new muses! |
 |
| Coming across the Orr's Island Causeway, I noticed a huge fog bank off in the distance between the sort of alley of evergreen trees bordering the waterway on the left side. |
 |
| This tiny house sits right before the beach at Mackerel Cove on Bailey Island. I took a small panorama to include the house, close up and the view of the harbor beyond. I can't imagine how many people could've lived in this house, it was so small. |

You can see these and more in my Orr's & Bailey Island Gallery.
