Adam Thomas Brockett, a post-doctoral fellow in neuroscience at University of Maryland, has always loved photography. “I picked up a camera as a way to get out of the lab and have been shooting ever since,” he explains. Brockett captured this image of the Sandy Point Shoal Lighthouse, just north of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, on a fall day trip with his dad. “We drove up in hopes of catching a warm sunrise, but the weather had other plans,” he recalls. “It began raining—but there was faint color in the sky and I liked how the golden beach grass was blowing in the wind, so I stopped and snapped this shot.” Photography by Adam Thomas Brockett
