Pink Hour
McAllister County Park is a hidden gem on Long Island. Those that know it usually refer to it as Pirate’s Cove probably due to its c shape peninsula, its dune spine that leads you out to the point, and a sunken ship that barely breaks the surface of the peaceful cove. On this day, I sat on a composition for a long time. On top of the dunes, I waited for a sunset that never happened. Disappointed, I packed up my gear and started my walk back to the car as the water level rise cuts off the straightest way back. All of a sudden, almost 15 minutes after sunset, the sky exploded into pinks and purples in all directions. I scrambled like a chicken with its head cut off to get my camera out the bag and snap this frame. I learned a valuable lesson this day. Patience is a virtue.
