Sunset followup
Spectacular Cape May Sky | click
Regarding last Saturday's spectacular sunset (post below), as it turns out, capemayX reader and Congress Hall guest Bradley Fry took photos (shown to the right) from his suite. Thanks Bradley, we appreciate the contribution. The sky in the vertical photo looks close to how I remember it when I drove down to the Cove although I think I arrived later where even more deep blue top sky had compressed the orange horizon. As the night sky slid into place, the silver moon shown in the top left, cast a more visual silvery spell over the landscape.

From a Congress Hall balcony suite
This balcony shot is interesting in that the yellow and red Congress Hall column lights provide a Tequlia sunrise palette that mimicks the sky's color spectrum. And aside from a simply incredible visual, you never see this perspective in Cape May sunset photos — shot from a Congress Hall suite, and capturing the Cape May Point lighthouse in the distance.Click on the the image thumbnails at right to see larger versions.

Sunsets
Saturday night Cape May had a spectacular sunset. To be accurate, what I observed happened after the sun had already set; in the brief period where the colors of night and dark take the reins from the exiting day's light. Earlier in the day I had snapped a bunch of photos and while loading them into my computer I had a killer craving for some white chocolate peppermint bark (don't ask). Never one to evade a good honest chocolate craving, I jumped into my truck, headed out and turned onto Beach Drive just as darkness was settling over town.
