Schooner "Madeleine" cruises along Newport Harbor, Newport, RI. One of her sails is shadowed neatly into the sun's reflection on the water.
Nat King Cole:
{Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea}
Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me
{She sailed at the dawning, all day I've been blue}
Red sails in the sunset, I'm trusting in you
Swift wings you must borrow
Make straight for the shore
We marry tomorrow
And she goes sailing no more
{Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea}
Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me

There are some shots you know are good as soon as you pull the trigger. I'll bet this was one of them...the rest is the run home to see what it really looks like on the big screen...great stuff. :-)
