This is an unusual view. Looking east from Rye, NH the Isles of Shoals (7 miles out) were very clearly seen with no distortion, haze or mirage. The setting sun behind us lit up the buildings on the island for a scant few minutes. At one point it looked like there was a fire on one of the islands as the sun blazed. The clouds and moon were a nice touch too :-)

There is an eerie flat smooth water area in the middle of the frame and turbulence all around it you can see the sunlight reflecting off of it.

"And beauty is not a need but an ecstacy.
It is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand stretched forth,
But rather a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted.
It is not the image you would see nor the song you would hear,
but rather an image you see though you close your eyes and a song you hear though you shut your ears. ..."

-- Kahlil Gibran. 'The Prophet' - On beauty

Nothing like your castles Werner!

Yes, this is The Mt. Washington Resort at Bretton Woods where The United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference, commonly known as Bretton Woods Conference was held on July 1–22, 1944, during World War II to make financial arrangements for the postwar world after the expected defeat of Germany and Japan.

The conference was attended by experts noncommittally representing 44 states or governments, including the Soviet Union. It drew up a project for the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD).
