Seaside

September 2010
In the little village of Seaside.

In the middle of Seaside overlooking a tasty gelato shop.

Seaside has an appreciation for art and culture.

Just around every corner are little nooks of prettiness.

The classic white church.

The simple but effective architecture of the square.

Suspended lamps create a criss-cross effect that makes even everyday wiring attractive.

Some of the private rental houses of Seaside.

White geometric lattice work against bright colors make this house eye catching.

A itty-bitty circular window overlooks a balcony.

One of my favorite houses in the town.

Sunset over Grayton Beach and some of the trails

The sun starts his journey below the horizon.

I managed to capture the rays of the sun filtering through the clouds, making fingers.

A solitary seagull soars through the picture.

 Bringing out the true color of the sun fades the darkening sky to black. It makes the wispy clouds stand out all the more over the ball of light.

Last bits of light scatter though the atmosphere. The fading light makes the sea look restless and stormy.

Some very tiny mushrooms growing up along the trails in between footprints in the sandy soil.

Swarms of beautiful dragonflies greeting us every evening on the dunes. They were amazing droning over, almost silhouetted against the pastel clouds. I manages to capture a few good pictures as they darted to and fro over our heads.

Some sea oats along the board walk with some lovely beach houses just out of focus in the background.

Amazing sparkling water in the bright sun, just at the perfect time of day for ocean photography.
