Many people state that once they pass over the canal and onto the Cape, all their life’s stresses and anxieties disappear. The Cape Cod Canal and it’s bridges are great symbols of the Cape. The Canal is a focal point for everyone to try their luck at fishing or to run, walk or cycle on it's service roads.

At rare times of the year, the sun’s angle lights up the gray steel of the bridges and turns them to a very bright silver highlight. The 6+ minute long-exposure smoothed out the canal water and eliminated all the traditional canal distractions - but kept those silver steel highlights.

The majestic steel Cape Cod Railroad Bridge bridge ,with it's two towering gothic-style spires, stands against a darkening sky. This evening, the structure is highlighted by ambient light, which presents the details the intricate metalwork. The bridge has a dominant skyline presence due to its comparatively low surroundings. This image was taken from about three miles from the bridge.

It is rare when the fog begins to lift from above and it remains closer to the ground or water. On this day, the two spires of the Cape Cod Canal railroad bridge projected just above the clouds as well as the American flag which is peaking out in the center of the span. We don't often have a chance to appreciate the architectural features of the spires of this structure which was built in the 1930's.

Few people ever get to study the architecture of the spire on the Cape Cod Railroad Bridge, because they’re usually driving parallel to the bridge. This sunset helped illuminate and add to the unusual beauty of the spire.

The Cape Cod Canal Railroad Bridge provides a unique foreground to the gorgeous sunset over the canal. The silhouetted structure contrasts sharply with the orange and yellow hues of the dusk.

As you travel over the Bourne Bridge to enter Cape Cod, look across and observe the railroad bridge structure that spans the Cape Cod Canal.

Both dusk and fog begin to settle in at West Falmouth Harbor and it's famous Boat House. This early evening also presents a stillness in the harbor water offering perfect reflections of the boat house and the row of trees that have all grown up with a slight tilt from years of steady winds. The winter is one of the few times when anchored boats don't block the view of the beauty of the Boat House, trees and their reflection.

An incredible "off-season" sunset at Nauset Beach in Orleans, MA and no-one is on the beach. The solitude of the "off season" gives one a deeper appreciation on the specialness of this Cape Cod coastal area. As one views the vastness in both the ocean and the sky, it makes you feel like a tiny speck on the shore - but appreciative of being there.

The foam, bubbles and receding tide melting into a sunset mirrors saltwater hand in the distant shore reclaiming itself with the onslaught of the cresting waves threatening to wash it away. It makes you want to just sit and watch the surf surge and recede over the expansive beach.

An absolute quiet and peaceful moment at sunrise on the Cape Cod coastline, overlooking the distant entrance to West Falmouth Harbor. Most of us have experienced a moment where we have been stunned by the lack of any sound. A moment we always remember.

There is a light fog on the horizon as the clouds above the fog turn pink from the rising sun, which casts a pink reflective glow on the still water, creating an "obmre effect" to the entire image.

As I view this photo, it immediately connects me to the Dierks Bentley song "Living". Surfing the National Seashore on Cape Cod during a killer sunset in December appears to be Living as this surfer's expression presents the absolute symbol of the verse "some days you're living"

Occasionally, we all should let loose and follow our passion and express this type of enjoyment.

From the road, all it takes is a glance up to Nobska's light in the evening, and the comforting signal is transmitted assuring the observer that all is safe and beautiful. From the sea, the combination of Nobska's drop lights, that highlight its body, and the lighthouse flash, every six seconds, guides the mariner to the safe harbor of Woods Hole is equally comforting and mesmerizing.

Sitting high over Vineyard Sound, Nobska Light projects its guiding light over to Martha's Vineyard and beyond.

A cold mist descents upon a Woods Hole ocean dock as the daylight begins to fade. Calming the water by use of a 5-minute long exposure allows that feeling of peaceful solitude to creep into your soul. Alone, at the ocean's edge in December and not another person in sight - just the sound of the fog horn sending out it's warning. That's a feeling to remember.

One of the Cape's most recognizable landmarks is the Chatham Light, located on Main Street in Chatham. Its light can be seen for over 25 miles out to sea.
