Here's something scary for Halloween night: Northwestern Vermont just experienced its last sunset after 5 p.m. until Feb. 1, 2027. The clouds over Whiteface and New York's Adirondack Mountains across Lake Champlain from Colchester flashed with brief color after the Halloween sun dipped below the jagged horizon. Brooding late-fall colors still fill the trees surrounding Malletts Bay, but winter is coming.

This particular autumn evening at the Roy Farm in Barnet, Vermont, provided a scene, a setting and lighting appropriately dramatic and spooky to send immediate Halloween vibes, so I put this image in my back pocket and saved it for today. Happy Halloween to all — and remember to set your clocks back an hour tonight!

Here's a second batch of photos from this year's amazing tower of jack-o'-lanterns on display in Essex Junction, Vermont. More than 700 hand-carved pumpkins soar high into the sky on scaffolding that resembles a giant, glowing, orange wedding cake for giants who made Halloween the theme of their nuptials. Pumpkin Palooza, as it's called, is sponsored by Essex Junction Recreation and Parks and is on display nightly through Oct. 31.

Spooky season is upon us once again, and that means it's time for Pumpkin Palooza in Essex Junction, Vermont! 🎃 🎃 🎃 This giant jack-o'-lantern tower features more than 700 hand-carved Halloween pumpkins that occupy row upon row of scaffolding at Maple Street Park. LED illumination gives the gourds their glow. This is the sixth year of the October attraction, organized by Essex Junction Recreation and Parks, and it always draws a crowd. Here are a few of my favorite images from a visit Thursday night after work. The display continues nightly through Halloween.

What an experience Tuesday evening when the combination of the rising full Hunter’s Moon, Nubble Lighthouse, sunset, and Long Sands Beach drew hundreds of photographers to York, Maine. Here’s a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the goings-on and the photos that resulted!

10/29/2026

Between photographing the full moon rising over Nubble Lighthouse with a small crowd of people Monday evening and a huge throng of folks 24 hours later, I ducked over to Portsmouth, New Hampshire shortly after sunup Tuesday for a moonset lineup I figured I'd likely have all to myself. And indeed that was exactly the case when I arrived at my chosen spot near Shapleigh Island on the Piscataqua River and waited for the moon to slide into position behind the nearly 200-foot-tall steeple of the historic North Church of Portsmouth that poked out from branches still laden with colorful autumn foliage.

Right on queue the moon slipped into place, a stunning sight against run-of-the-mill morning routines: A few line workers unloaded their truck down the street; a trash collector lumbered through the neighborhood; drivers began their sleepy commutes to the office. But no one else stopped to breathe in this lovely moonset. I felt fortunate to have planned, paused, and photographed so I could share this scene with you all this morning.

Full moon rising over Nubble Lighthouse in York, Maine, this time Tuesday. This image is a horizontal version of the photo I shared this morning in portrait orientation. I like how this one really emphasizes how the glow of the bright, just-past-full Hunter's Moon spread across the darker landscape, while the keeper's house and light tower stand sentinel a little over two miles northeast of our perspective on Long Sands Beach. Which version do you like better, the horizontal image or the vertical version?

Good morning and happy Wednesday! First, thanks to everyone who left amazing comments and reactions on my Nubble Lighthouse moonrise photos during the past few days. I'm so grateful! Let's start today with an image from barely 90 seconds later than the scene I shared last night. In the photo I posted Tuesday night, only a few hours after I made the image, the full moon completely encircled the lighthouse and shining beacon. Here, you can see how much the moon moved in less than two minutes as the lunar disc hurried on its ascent into the night sky. (This is a single photo — no AI, no composites, no trickery, only a press of the shutter button while standing on Long Sands Beach 2.14 miles southwest of Nubble.)

Tuesday's 95% illuminated Hunter's Moon rises directly behind Nubble Lighthouse in York, Maine, as photographed from Long Sands Beach some 2.14 miles southwest of the 1879 light station. The moon looks huge in comparison to the lighthouse because of how far away we were standing. This is a single image — no composites, no AI, no gimmicks, no tricks, just photography. I was joined by what had to be in excess of 200 other photographers, some from as close as York itself, and others from as far as Pennsylvania, making the seven-hour drive just to experience this scene in real life.

I'm posting this photo now because, as Josh Lyman of "The West Wing" once said, "the internet people have gone crazy." Just before moonrise, I posted three behind-the-scenes iPhone photos of the crowd of photographers waiting to capture this lineup, and then immediately after the big event, I began my 3.5-hour drive from Long Sands back home to Vermont.

And that behind-the-scenes post, friends, has gone viral. The leading refrain, repeated over and over in the comments, is along the lines of, "Why haven't you posted a photo of the moonrise itself yet?!?" Lemme tell you, it's because I was driving. WAS driving. I have now pulled over at a rest area in southern Vermont so I could edit and share an image.

Tonight.

Just for you.

You're welcome.
