We were having some pretty good waves during a storm. I love shooting waves like this one; doing so puts you in the center of the action!

I think it fits the contest a little better. From an old Kodachrome 1983.

And it was a cloudy afternoon. Then the clouds started breaking up to reveal a bright blue sky behind them. I looked down at the pond and saw these reeds and a striking view of the dramatic sky.

I knew I would struggle with what to enter, so I changed my entry.
And I can't promise I won't do it again.

was shot October 2021 at Emerald Isle, NC during one of my sunrise beach walks. I love that time of day because the ocean can be so moody from a variety of colors other than blue, and I also love the layered, textured effect of the breaking waves against the cloud bank on the horizon.
