The New Hampshire Coastline enjoys a winter sunset and Great Island Common has a front row seat to the end of the day. The pastel sky and the contrasty silhouetted rocks in the foreground are reason enough to get me back out for more sunsets and attempts to capture some natural beauty.
A classic black and white take on one of the seacoast’s busiest locations on the water – The Wentworth Marina. Next to the Wentworth By The Sea Hotel, this spot has become a favorite place to go for a stroll to enjoy the waterfront and gorgeous sunsets.
Great Island Common is one of New Castle’s gems. It provides opportunities for everyone to enjoy a slice of the oceanfront – and on this particular afternoon, the moody sky and stormy sea was a nice offset to the natural colors of the massive rock formations on the coastline.
A warm, inviting entrance to a grand hotel. The pavers and the covered entrance to the Wentworth By the Sea make guests feel stately and at home as they arrive to check in. The scene takes on a different feel in the evening, more cozy than the clean and stately white lines of the architecture during the day, though it’s elegant in all settings.
Early in the spring, the trees began to regain their color and personality that they lost in the fall. Buds began appearing – and the trees here along the coast in New Castle at Great Island Common enjoy their waterfront view of the Atlantic Ocean.
The Wentworth By The Sea is one of the truly majestic hotels in New England. This beauty sits atop a hillside that overlooks Newcastle, the Atlantic Ocean, and is a close distance to a ton of my favorite places to shoot. The building is gorgeous with its distinct red roof, and is true to its origins with its luxurious renovations that saved it from severe disrepair not long ago. This close up and the ridiculous amount of detail is courtesy of the Hasselblad H4D-31 that I demoed earlier in the year.
There’s nothing like being out on the water at sunset. I have a newly found appreciation for sailing, after enjoying a gorgeous afternoon out on the water in Saint Lucia.
This shot was actually taken from the land at Great Island Common – as I looked out into the harbor and enjoyed seeing the sailboats cruise around in the late afternoon sunlight. There’s a nice simplicity in the coastal beauty…and the opportunities to get out and enjoy the ocean/rivers/etc. is the icing on the cake.
