Castle Hill Light
Newport, Rhode Island
Castle Hill Light overlooks the East Passage of Narragansett Bay. Across the way is Conanicut Island (a.k.a Jamestown) which is connected to mainland Rhode Island by the Jamestown-Verrazano Bridge to the west and the Claiborne Pell (a.k.a. Newport) Bridge to the east, the latter just visible here to the left of the lighthouse. This was taken at the end of a gorgeous day for early March in southern New England; as a result I had to share the rocks with two other photographers, but we managed to stay out of each other's way. As the weather improves and tourists descend on Newport, I imagine this spot will be become un-photographable. Which reminds me of my favorite local bumper sticker (or bumpa sticka as they say in these parts): "Welcome to Newport. Now go home."
Filters: 2-stop soft-edge GND, 6-stop ND
