About July's Header Photo

If you have just recently discovered Summit to Shore you may not know that I change the header photo every month. During odd numbered months the header photo is of a shore scene and during even numbered months the photo is of a summit scene. If this is July, this must a shore photo month.

July’s header photo features the lighthouse at Fire Island National Sea Shore as seen from the west. I shot the photo on September 19, 2008 from a kayak in the Great South Basin.

I was on a Sebago Canoe Club kayaking trip at the time. We put in at Captree State Park and paddled across the basin to Fire Island. Unfortunately we arrived at Fire Island too late to climb up to the top of the light house but I still managed to get a few good photographs as we approached.
