Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse

Sunsets on the coast have a way of making you pause, and this evening at Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse was one of those moments that stayed with me. The sky shifted through vibrant shades of orange, coral, and violet as the sun dipped low, and a delicate crescent moon appeared among the painted clouds. The water below caught the light just enough to shimmer, and the lighthouse stood quietly on its rocky cliff, surrounded by evergreens and holding the history of countless coastal nights.

I remember the air settling into calm as daylight softened. The waves moved gently against the shoreline and the breeze carried the scent of the ocean through the trees. It felt like the world was unhurried for once, as if the day wanted to linger before giving itself fully to night. Standing there, I felt both inspired and grounded, completely present in the beauty of that transition.

For anyone who feels a pull toward the sea, or who finds comfort in the gentle glow of a coastal evening, this piece brings that feeling home. It is a reminder of the quiet magic that happens at the edge of day, a moment of calm you can return to whenever you need it.
