This photo was taken the day after a horribly cold, wet, stormy October night. We were in Cape May for a Ghost Tour with Craig McManus, a psychic medium and author of The Ghosts of Cape May books, but I was sick and it was cold and stormy and wet so we opted to stay in lest I catch my death of a cold and end up one of the ghosts of Cape May.

The next day was one of those bright, beautiful, crisp fall days you read about in tourism pamphlets and so we ventured out of our hotel room. This is one of my most favorite photos. At the time I was working on capturing the sun reflecting on the ocean. It’s not quite perfect but it remains one of my most favorite photos. This was taken with my first point & shoot digital camera, a Fujifilm FinePix A500. (October 26, 2006)
