Paine’s Creek Beach is one of my favorite places to photograph. The visual elements there appeal to me, especially at low tide, and when conditions seem good, I can get there in two minutes.

I love being able to respond to interesting light and weather by heading to Paine’s Creek. I can be there in two minutes. Watching the weather radar, I saw the storm heading across the north side of Cape Cod Bay. As I set up on the breakwater, the sky opened and the shaft of light shone on the water. In the sand someone had drawn “Cape Cod 2019”, which became the title for this image. I also took a series of images to make a panorama.
