The nearly 200 fine-art images of this large coffee-table book capture four seasons of coastal activity on Kent Island—the largest island in the Chesapeake Bay<br /><br />Idyllically situated on Maryland&#39;s Eastern Shore, Kent Island maintains a quiet timelessness despite its proximity to the Washington-Baltimore metro area. It brims with outdoor activity, from working boats to birdlife, charter boats, tankers, and paddling dogs. The book&#39;s lush photographic spreads capture this watery environment year-round—from winter&#39;s empty crab pots and icy shores, to spring and fall&#39;s wildlife migrations, to summer&#39;s storms and sunsets.<br /><br />• The most comprehensive photographic essay of Kent Island&#39;s natural heritage to date and one of very few professional coffee-table books to spotlight this location<br />• Points of interest captured include Romancoke Pier, Waterman&#39;s Boat Basin, Kent Point Marina, Sandy Point Shoal Lighthouse, Kentmorr Marina, Queen Anne Marina, Terrapin Park, Chesapeake Bay Beach Club, Harris Crab House &amp; Seafood Restaurant, Shipping Creek Landing, Bloody Point Bar Lighthouse, Dock House Restaurant, Ferry Point Park, Libbey’s Coastal Kitchen &amp; Cocktails, and Bay Bridge Marina<br />• Includes a foreword by Jack Broderick, the president of Kent Island Heritage Society<br />• A popular vacation and destination wedding spot, Kent Island attracts visitors from the DC/Baltimore/Annapolis metro area, as well as Pennsylvania, New York, and Ohio<br />• The seafood and beaches of the Chesapeake Bay&#39;s Eastern Shore are legendary<br /><br />Local resident and fine-art photographer Dale Hall&#39;s nautical imagery is an irresistible invitation to explore the flurry of life along Maryland&#39;s storied Eastern Shore.
