I love September on the Cape as do many others. The temperature and humidity are much closer to my general comfort zone and the crowds have eased up a bit. More than anything, though, I love the light…

There’s the light that sneaks out beneath the velvety purple and gray clouds…

the interplay between softness and drama….

the contrast between the possibility of sun and the certainty of rain…

often all happening in mere moments across the landscape…

colors are intensified…

changing minute by minute…until….

the first signs of a rainbow appear…

and a second one appears above it…

and it fills the sky…

all that amazing light in one September day…
