The first day of “standard time,” after gaining an extra hour of sleep between Saturday and Sunday, produced a thing of beauty some of us just happened to be lucky enough to see Sunday night. The beautiful sunset seen in the video above (note: some ad blockers may prevent the video player from loading) was recorded at Bayside Park in the barrier island community of Normandy Beach in Brick Township – opposite Brick Beach III – and shows a perfect end to the weekend.
Meanwhile, the National Weather Service was predicting a week of more seasonal temperatures – but more sun than last week – in the days to come, including a mild and rain-free Election Day on Tuesday.
