Description
This colorful, early evening, landscape photograph is at Rock Harbor Beach near Orleans, Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The evening sky is turning golden-pink which reflects, too, on the water. The tall shore grasses and reeds are silhouetted against the colorful sky. Rock Harbor presents so many unique photographic opportunities. With all of the grass and the solitary trees growing out of the water (as navigational beacons and channel markers), it's unlike any other beach I've seen on the Cape. Orleans, Massachusetts, is also home to the Coast Guard Rescue Ship, CG36500, which performed the heroic rescue of the crew of the Pendleton, recreated in the recent movie The Finest Hours. The CG36500 is docked at Rock Harbor. Rock Harbor has become a gathering place for sunset watchers and photographers, much as Mallory Square is on Key West. Musicians come out to provide music and entertainment and a happy crowd gathers to celebrate the end of the day.
