In March I spent a few days along the coast of South Carolina. Here are a few images of a magical sunset along the shore. Several of these have been made with extremely long shutter speeds to capture the waning light. My favorites are those I call Flying Shadows - images that reveal just barely the shadowy wings of thousands of shore birds that flew above the incoming tide after sunset.

Looking Forward
The red glow after sunset suggests that tomorrow might be better, at least if you are a sailor! Photo © copyright by Ed Fuhr.
