Long Exposures at Hazard Rock

There was another impending snow storm and the forecast was for overcast skies and gray days. But I took my chances one evening with a break in the clouds before the storm's arrival, and headed down to Point Judith Lighthouse.

The road wasn't plowed very well and I had to park down the street and walk a...
