Monhegan’s Golden Light
Monhegan Island with Manana Island just offshore, framed by vivid blue skies and the glimmering Atlantic. The colorful fields, clustered homes, and resting harbor evoke a sense of peace and island tradition.
This sweeping panorama captures the quiet beauty of Monhegan and Manana Islands, where golden autumn grasses meet the deep blue of the Atlantic. Nestled between rugged land and boundless sea, the village seems to pause in timeless stillness.
Scroll down for a few different perspectives on this view. (I’ll be interested in seeing what perspective my friend Michel-Paul paints.)
Ocean meets the land,
villages in autumn light,
sky drifts into blue.
Islands keeping watch,
tides whisper through the harbor,
time slows on the shore.
Graves upon the hill,
life and sea entwined below,
eternity waits.
