Dawn Lighthouse Sweep Over Oregon Ferry Crossing

Pale amber light cuts through heavy, bruised clouds to illuminate a narrow canal winding through mist-shrouded autumn trees. A lone ferry rests at a wooden dock, its hull dark against the rippling gray water. The beam from a distant lighthouse sweeps across the scene, catching the wet surfaces of the bridge railing and the frosted edges of golden leaves. Shadows stretch long and deep between the piers, while the water reflects the shifting glow of the sky. The perspective looks down from a high vantage point, revealing the geometric layout of the crossing. One reflection of the light beam shimmers on the dark water near the stern of the boat.
