Yes, this is a sunset photo looking east out over the Atlantic Ocean.  The family was in Kennebunkport, ME a few weeks ago and we wanted the kids to see President Bush's home/ compound up there and it was getting late.  Having the moon rising in the east was a bonus.  I don't know if President Bush was there, but the security was definitely a presence.  Enjoy.

I was strolling around Kennebunkport, ME a few weeks ago while the girls were shopping and I was trying to find a way to photograph the steeple of this beautiful church in the center of town. Sometimes it takes a while till you find your vantage point, but after a while, I found the best view. There was a clearing in the trees that nicely framed the steeple. Keep walking around your subject and you'll find where it's best shot is. Perhaps a few weeks later and the leaves would be a beautiful color, but you take what nature give you. Enjoy.
