Summer's Last Kiss

Blue Sky Day, Photo by Shannon Finney

Now that it is officially sweater weather here in Washington, DC, it's time for that long, last lingering kiss of summer! I shot this as part of my 2010 Spring Lake Series and whenever I look at it, I'm immediately transported to the hot, gritty sands of the beach, and a sky so blue that it looks like it could only occur in Photoshop. The beachgoers in silhouette sit on a horizontal plane. This photo references everything that is beach to me but laid out in such a way that it appears deconstructed.
