The Sunset

[eregyrn]

As mentioned: visiting my Mom a couple of weeks ago on the Jersey Shore, and the house my brother rented for his family came with a rooftop deck that was perched up higher than any of the other decks for a ways around. That made for a fun view during the sunset, so I went to get some pics

Hahahaha! Your beaches are backwards! As a west coast beach-goer, I looked at your 'north and then south' shots and immediately thought 'those are backwards.' Because the ocean HAS to be to the West, of course! Habit, I has it.

Lovely photos.

Ha ha, yes!

Is there anywhere on the US or Canadian west coast that even HAS barrier-island beaches like this? I was going to say -- it's not just that they're backwards, but it's a completely different kind of beachy thing.

Hmm... behind Vancouver island maybe? I'm not sure!

I grew up in the east (though several hours from the coast) and then lived in the inland northwest for several years. I think by the end I had stopped innately assuming that "ocean" means "east," but it was hard for a long time. It's funny the things that get ingrained without you even noticing it...

Oh, so much more than pedestrian because the way you framed it with the buildings in the foreground is fabulous, I'm just sayin'. The strip of water and the telephone lines make it very cool I think. Also love the curling wave and that last sunset shot is really really fine. *Hugs*
