From the photographer: Hello, my name is Trevor Murphy. This is a shot I took of “Highland Light House” located in Truro, Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It was shot in late November, when the sun sets in the mid-afternoon. I had noticed the cloud formations all day and hoped everything would pan out by dusk.
As you can see, the sunset was quite stunning that day. Cape Cod has some beautiful scenery, and shooting in the off seasons leaves wide open spaces and free parking.
