Sunrise Sunday :: Ocean Ridge Hammock Park :: Bonus Twisted Trees

in #nature6 years ago (edited)

Fresh photos! Still hot straight from the camera. From a late Valentine's Day sojourn to the beach at Ocean Ridge Hammock Park early Saturday morning, @morodiene and I found calm waters and an imposing ridge of clouds on the horizon that proved to be dramatic enough for a patient viewer.


After leaving the car and crossing the street, we arrive at a nice little boardwalk down to the beach, and warmth on the horizon.
Calm waters as we approach.
Hey, we found a towel and some coffee mugs! Oh wait...those are ours. The beach here is very private and protected by the tree line.
@morodiene looks out to sea pensively. Perhaps thinking of shipwrecks.
Bird battalion at sea, scooting across the sky.
A then a massive sailboat blotted out the sun.
The final moments of the sunrise as it peers through a hole in the clouds.
Time to head back, we amble up the boardwalk.
One final wave goodbye to our brief and transient relationship with the sun.
The path back to the parking lot wends at sharp angles down the hillside.
I think we're lost.

Sort:  

Coffee mugs on the beach. You lucky bass tournament fishermen.

Great color. I like the intersecting (or not quite intersecting) lines of the first photo - vertical leading to horizontal.

And what a strange twisted pathway.

Ah good eye. The hints of the railings of the path are just barely visible. Thanks!

The second picture was the best one, at least for me! You got the arch shape of the sunrise with a gradual transition in the colors. Very well done!
I'll start to follow your work :)

If you have some time, stop by at my blog. I usually post some nature pictures, but not as pro as your pictures, hahaha!

Thanks! You have some attractive photos as well!

A beautiful collection of photos. You caught it rising...I’ll try to get some shots this evening as it circles around back to you. Happy Sunday!

Excellent! Loving photos 2,6,7 and 11 (no trees like that up here in WI).

Thanks! Definitely nothing like those trees in the great white north! :)

Love the twisty trees and the fact that you've taken a sunrise. Not many of us seem to get up for those - me included!

Lovely colours!

It was not easy! Got up at 530 AM on a Saturday. Not...easy... :)

Very commendable! 😁

Those are gorgeous shots:)

What a beautiful golden hour! the purple shadow really caught my eye, very painterly.

And of course i love the sailboat on the horizon... :)

Thanks much!
