Yesterday morning I ventured out into my backyard Silver Sands Beach hoping for a image. Sky was kind of empty and sunrise was coming. I looked behind and saw a streak of clouds floating into my composition. They were to low to be under lit but awesome enough to add drama to my image. So greatful!!!

A pier on Sand Point Beach at New Haven Harbor on Long Island Sound. West haven in New Haven County, Connecticut

West Haven

Popular spot for fishers and some people boat to Wooster Island, which can be seen from the park. I believe there's a boat ramp south of the park. I'm planning on going back in the fall for the fall foliage and maybe do a long exposure to smooth out the water.
