Beach Road and Ocean on a Sandy Beach Shoreline from Aerial Drone
Beach Road and Ocean on a Sandy Beach Shoreline from Aerial Drone
After a long day at the beach, I was paddling in my kayak back to my put in point when I came across this beautiful scene. The sun is going down over this long ago abandoned building. 

Not sure what it was. There is a old pier in the front. Maybe for fishermen?
Best Clam Cakes and Chowder
The morning forecast looked dreary but to a photographer, it should only offer opportunity. Glad I went with my instinct and headed out to take photographs. Shots like this make loosing a little sleep so worth it.
