It may seem that all I do in Rockport on Cape Ann is photograph the sunsets and sunrises. That is because such is the case. This passed Thursday was the best sunset that I have encountered so far at Cape Hedge Beach – remarkably tropical in appearance for New England during a cold and grey January. So at the risk of sounding redundant, I am posting Figure 1. There is no need for poetry, I think. The sunrises and sunsets are the poetry of the Earth.
