Here are a few golden hour scenes that benefit from back and side lighting. In this set, the rising sun illuminates the tops of a lost buoy, cobbles, limpets, and snails while the posterior rim of a California mussel shell and the curly blades of a lovely red seaweed pick up fire from behind.

A lost buoy at rest in the cobbles. Surf zone and some offshore rocks in the distance.

Backlit Mastocarpus (probably) shares a boulder top with Phaeostrophion.

All my selections are from January 26 except Mastocarpus, which is from March 27. Perched on Pollicipes previously appeared in Shadows and Reflections in Monochrome: Winter Scenes From the High Intertidal.
