P
ort Washington resident Jeff Stone has captured Port Washington’s spectacular and ever-changing sunsets on Manhasset Bay in more than 3,000 photos, over ten years, and during every season. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Stone shot four times more sunset photos than the previous five years combined. Residents anxiously awaited Stone’s nearly nightly posting of one gorgeous sunset photo after another. Stone has amassed so many sunset photos that he recently had a book published entitled, Goodnight Port in which he shares his love of sunsets. It was difficult for him to cull down from the 3,000-plus sunset photos he has, but the book features over 170 sunset images that
highlight the natural beauty and serenity of Manhasset Bay. To showcase just a dozen of Jeff’s thousands of photos from his diverse portfolio, The Pride of Cow Bay Nautical Museum, which looks like a bright red tugboat located at the Town Dock, will present “Seasonal Sunsets of Manhasset Bay” by Jeff Stone. The exhibit celebrates the year-round beauty of Port Washington’s waters and skyline. Sponsored by Bayside Tax & Wealth, the exhibit will be unveiled on June 5 as part of the 30th HarborFest celebration. Be sure to visit the exhibit while at HarborFest or afterwards. The exhibit will be on display until next year’s celebration, and is always “open” since the photos are viewed through the museum’s portholes and rear windows.
