Silver Lining

A sliver of light and color at the end of a drab and stormy early December day

I know it's been a while since I've been posting one of those ocean shots, but once in a while I just have to sprinkle one in...Here, the storm clouds gave way to a small band of orange at the end of the day. I just loved the speck of otherworldly red in the sky, but oh boy was it cold! I specifically drove down with tripod and all my gear to take photographs, and this is the only (& handheld) picture I took before running back to my car shivering like crazy!

Hot Coals

Jones Beach BBQ Area in Field #6 after one too many weekend storms

I am always a sucker for the surreal and when I discovered this bright red overturned barrel against a flooded Jones Beach picnic area, I just had to click that shutter.

Blasted

Sun blasting through sky, wind blasting my face

And I thought yesterday was cold. You have no idea... The temperature was "only" 32 degrees, but the wind chill, at gusts (and steady blows) of 50 mph, I don't want to know. But it was worth it. Was out all day shooting pics and this one, just before sunset, is my favorite. Eyes were watering and ears were ringing, I am surprised it came out as well as it did!
