The Story
A symmetrical portrait of a Bald Eagle in its nest with eyes closed, backlit by a vibrant, orange-gold sunset.
The Location
Captured along the shores of the Potomac River in Tall Timbers, MD, this image reflects the specific ecology, light, and heritage of a region unlike any other on the Atlantic coast. From the tidal creeks of Southern Maryland to the open waters of the Bay, every frame tells a story rooted in place.
Artist's Perspective
"I'd been watching this nest for weeks, and the eagle would always face the sunset. But on this evening, it closed its eyes. That moment of repose — of an apex predator simply resting in the last light — was something I'd never seen before. I held my breath and fired." — Ryan Lott
Curator's Recommendation
The horizontal orientation (landscape cut) makes this piece well-suited for living rooms, offices, and above fireplaces. Available as a archival-quality framed canvas in white or black. Particularly well-suited for medical and wellness spaces seeking calming, contemplative imagery. As a limited edition of 50, this piece is positioned as a collector-grade investment.
Limited Edition: This image is produced as a strictly limited edition of 50 prints across all sizes. Each print ships with a hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity featuring a custom embossed seal and matched holographic authentication stickers.
Print Quality

Every Chesapeake Focus print is produced on archival-grade poly-cotton canvas using UL GREENGUARD GOLD certified inks — water resistant, fade resistant, and anti-yellowing. Each canvas is hand-stretched over kiln-dried stretcher bars that are knot-free and warp-free, then finished with your choice of hardwood floater frame in matte black, white, brown, or natural. Ready to hang right out of the box.
