With enough snow removed to make things accessible for cameras and a tripod, we headed to the Vance Avenue pier in Lavallette Monday night to catch some rays – albeit in the midst of 20-something degree temperatures.
The sunset was, as expected, magical following an icy scene where a burning-hot red sun settles behind a white, frozen bay. A produced video with some great scenes appears above, and a few of our favorite photos snapped last night appear below.
