Dawn and dusk are very different in the winter season up in New England, the sun is at a lower angle and therefore paints the clouds much earlier in the day than in the summer months. The winter colors tend to be softer blues and pinks like this early evening. The tide was softly rolling in allowing the wet sand and shallow waves to reflect the pastel colored sky.  This was intentionally blurred to give an abstract dreamy feel. Rye beach along the Atlantic coast.
