Photo Observation #3

Taken August of 2019, 8:00 PM on the rocks surrounding the Montauk Lighthouse Museum.
THEME: Romance
She had never seen a lighthouse before. Being from California, anything above fifty feet on a beachfront was prone to toppling at any moment. Montauk, with all it’s tacky merchandise and trendy eateries, seemed an appropriate location. Alas, the sun was rapidly setting when time came for the main attraction. Cold wind whipped across the island tip as we crossed the parking lot under the sparse light of the receding sun. The museum itself was closed (the price for her first oyster experience), but a path circling the coast remained open. As we hopped rock to rock, I looked back to see her admiring the ocean, and the pink-gradient sky atop it. While we had missed the lighthouse, shrouded in darkness above us, we enjoyed the moment of peace at the tip of the world. It wasn’t the experience we came for, but it was the one we remembered.
