Description
Evening at the Mouth-
For those unfamiliar to the term, mouth of the river is where it enters the ocean.
After chasing storm clouds across the Seacoast, rain poured down and forced me into the Jeep. As I sat there looking at the Piscataqua River I noticed one of the Moran Tugs headed out. The evening light was dark and grayish as the clouds hung overhead. Off towards the ocean a bit of brightness appeared. In New Castle I was able to capture the tug passing Whaleback Lighthouse moving towards the tanker, its destination in the distance.
This image for me combines a lot of hazards of the sea and those that provide safety. The river looks smooth from a long exposure yet can be pretty rough at times. A lifesaving ring can be seen on the walkway many people fish from. Those two are just a few.
