As the winter sun crested the horizon, the historic Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse stood silhouetted in warm golden light. Shot from a boat during a planned workshop with acclaimed photographer Jay Fleming, this image captures a rare seasonal moment—the lighthouse adorned with festive Christmas wreaths, glowing in the peaceful dawn stillness of Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay.

This photograph is a tribute to maritime heritage and holiday serenity, where soft reflections of sunrise ripple gently across the bay’s surface. The stillness of the water, the warmth of the color palette, and the precise symmetry of the lighthouse offer a sense of both structure and calm.

Perfect for coastal décor lovers, nautical enthusiasts, and collectors of fine art photography, this piece brings a touch of Chesapeake magic into your home or office year-round.
