Ice Cream Cones


We decided to go out for ice cream cones, and while on the way, I noticed that the sun was this beautiful, magic, orange ball. It only happens in the summertime with hazy skies. So ice cream cones in hand, we headed toward Hempstead Harbor to watch the sun go down over the water. Fortunately there was a sailboat moored in the right place, to add interest to the photograph. I started photographing when the sun was higher in the sky, and continued to photograph as the sun got nearer to the horizon, and then faded from view. The photographs are quite different, and I have chosen this more dramatic one - one of the first pictures I took.

What a wonderful scene to witness while enjoying an ice cream cone! And what good luck that a sailor decided to drop anchor in just the right spot!

Sorry that was my comment - more wishful thinking. Would love to see Ken's work displayed showing the beauty of Sea Cliff.

I totally agree with loving to see Ken's work displayed showing the beauty of Sea Cliff. That's why I questioned it.. wishful hoping. Thank you.

Ken's too busy and modest to arrange a display of his works - maybe Kathy can convince him. Lots of places in town would I am sure be pleased to have a Sea Cliff event, how about Rose's General Store ? or even the Library.

Libraries are usually very good places for such things. I will be watching for a date and place. I would even be interested in a purchase or two. This print especially.
