We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.

This image was made as part of an end-of-summer gallery the staff worked on together. I went for a walk on the beach at sunset looking for images that said Òend of summerÓ when I came across this scene. Nothing says the end of summer like an empty beach. As I walked, the sky began to get dark with pretty warm colors. It was a quiet moment and these people seemed to be soaking in the last moments of summer as I made the image.
