Stargazer

Cobb Island, Maryland 

Earlier in September I made what is most likely to be the last river trip of the season. Our destination for the weekend was St Clements and Cobb Island, both located on the Maryland shore of the Potomac, not too far from where the river empties into the Chesapeake Bay. I spotted Stargazer Saturday afternoon and returned for this photograph later in the evening when the sun was low in the sky. There is little in this scene that would have seemed out of place to a Potomac River waterman fifty or seventy-five years ago.
