2009 Charity Desk Calendar - January Photo

"Twilight over the Pier" by Sarah Helding

Here is what the Sarah had to say about this photo:

"It was the heart of winter in my home state of Wisconsin and an enormous storm was brewing. A friend and I decided to escape the foot of snow that was due and, on a whim, headed south for a week. Our final destination: Pensacola Beach, Florida. After two days of driving through torrential rains and tornado warnings, we arrived. It was around 6pm and seventy-five degrees so we grabbed some sandwiches and sat back in lawn chairs on the beach outside our hotel to watch the sun set over this small pier."


The Board of Directors chose this photo because of the vibrant colors captured by Sarah. As any photographer will tell you, sunset and sunrise photos can be challenging - great job Sarah!
