Since I retired, I don’t often see the sunrise—by choice. No more setting my alarm. I wake when I wake, and it's usually well after the sun has broken the horizon. As a photographer, I know this cuts out the best light of the day, but what's wrong with sleeping late and going after the sunsets? Recently, I joined Plymouth Digital Photographers , an online photography club that has frequent live meet-ups to shoot at various places in the area. A twice a year opportunity arose this week to photograph the Bourne Bridge and the Railroad Bridge with the sun rising beneath them both! The same alignment happens again in August, so I’ve been told. So when my alarm went off at 4 a.m., I dressed quickly, got my camera and tripod, and set off for Wareham, a town on the "mainland" side of the Cape Cod Canal-- a forty minute ride from where I live. The forecast was iffy; it had rained off and on in the night. Who wants to wake early if the sun might stay in bed? Stil
Life is a series of snapshots meant to be recorded in words. A writer and photographer shares hers.
