"What made the photo striking, to me, was the play of the light on the rock and the snow, the picturesque streetlights, and the fact that the moon was directly overhead. Speaking of celestial bodies, back in the 1800s, there was a forty foot observatory tower atop Savin Rock; unfortunately, it was destroyed by fire in 1897," said Shine.
