On my last day on Cape Cod I was awakened by an orange light. In spite of the chill I couldn’t resist going out for one last beach walk.

I don’t shoot in black and white, but I took these photos on a walk yesterday planning to process them in Black and White for Hey Jude’s 2020 Photo Challenge #47: photograph nature in Black and White and experiment with high and low key effects.
