This Is Why I Live On The Water In Stevensville Maryland
The sunset on the Chesapeake Bay this past Thursday was nothing less than spectacular. Driving east from Annapolis, crossing the Bay Bridge, the sun glowed yellow in the rear view mirror. Traffic was moderate crossing the bridge, but, it was after rush hour. At the foot of the Bay Bridge where it touches down on Kent Island, I exited Rt. 50 to stop and bask in the golden glow as the sun sank lower into the sky and then finally vanished in a green flash. Myth or fact, it is commonly thought when watching the sun set that there is a momentary green flash just after it sinks below the horizon.
It's no wonder we're obsessed with all things gold. It is really special to watch the day slip away, turning the water inky dark so that it shimmers gold in the reflection of the setting sun. No wonder the ancients were obsessed with both the sun and the precious metal. As a boy I once stood atop the Inca hitching post of the sun in Machu Picchu, a place of peace and power. Inspired and awestruck, I've searched the world for over for the best beaches and places to watch the sunset. I've found one of those peaceful places here on Kent Island located a quick 50 minutes from the center of power, Washington DC.
There are many more reasons why I live on the Chesapeake Bay other than just for the pleasure of watching some of the most incredible sunsets on the East Coast. If you think you might want to call the Bay your home too, there are many excellent waterfront homes to choose from around the Chesapeake Bay.
This is why I live on the water. This is why I call the Chesapeake Bay home. And you can too.
