A week had passed since nearly 3 feet of snow fell on Cape Cod during the Blizzard of '05. Snow was still everywhere, and the cold temperatures allowed for portions of the bay side of the Cape to freeze.
Paine's Creek in Brewster has been a favorite location of mine since we moved to the Cape some six years ago and is a good place to go when looking for a dramatic sunset.
Knowing the Creek would be frozen and that there would still be snow on the ground, I searched for a location from which to create an image that not only displayed the harshness of the winter but also the warmth & beauty that the sunset could deliver in such conditions.
I eventually came across the scene that is above. The warm light that comes from the winter sun just moments before it disappeared bathed the leafless brush and sea grass in a bed of soft yellow light. This is in stark contrast to the cool blue of the frozen creek and trampled snow where the warm light was unable to reach.
