I wasn't really planning on going shooting. I just happened to have my camera bag with me from a previous shoot and the clouds were rolling out. I was in a rush to meet the shoreline.

I was driving along trying to think of the best location for the light and decided to go back to Wickford Cove where I had attempted another morning shoot a couple months ago.
