Sunburst Over Long Island Sound at Avery Point
- Location
- Avery Point Beach, Groton, CT 06340
- Date photographed
Avery Point Beach in Groton opens directly onto Long Island Sound, and on this August evening the sky commanded full attention. Layered clouds caught the low sun in sharp relief—some glowing white where light pierced through, others rendered nearly black by shadow. The water below mirrored the drama above, its surface rippled and textured. The rocky point that defines this stretch of shore anchors the foreground, worn smooth by years of tidal movement. In black and white, the tonal range becomes everything: the photograph reads as pure light and shadow, stripping away color to reveal the raw geometry of the moment.
