- Avery Point Beautiful Sunset
Avery Point in Groton offers an unobstructed view across Long Island Sound, and on this September evening, the water became a mirror for the sky's full performance. The sun hung low and intense, its light breaking through layered clouds in sharp rays that reached across the sound. The reflection stretched from the shore all the way to the horizon, turning the water into molten gold. These moments—when the light is this direct and the clouds are sculpted just right—remind you why this stretch of Connecticut coast draws photographers back again and again. The sound was calm, the air still, and the only movement was the slow descent of the sun toward the distant tree line.
