Welcome to Monhegan, a small, rocky island 10 miles off the mid-coast of Maine. Since the island has no cars, no street lights and very little ambient light to contaminate the darkness, it provides a rare opportunity to capture some of its nighttime beauty with a camera. Monhegan Starry Nights is my collection of some of those images.
