The calm waters of Portland, Maine’s harbor during winter.. watching the hard working fishing boats return for the evening.. grateful for their hard work and the beauty of the moment.

What a view! This was incredible.. we usually can’t see the mountains so clear in the summer.. the cloud deck was just so impressive hanging over them! Have a great week!

Thank you!!!!

Southport, NC.. a ‘movie set’ town and so beautiful under the sunset afterglow!
