Not Fall & Not Kansas
I thought I would throw a little monkey wrench in the start of the fall rush of images showing up. Hopefully I will get a few in as well.

This was taken Oct. 3rd in Myrtle Beach SC at the end of a weeks stay along with my (to borrow a phrase from Tim E.) lovely bride (wife of 3 years). Standing on our balcony we both found ourselves with cameras in hand trying to capture as many memories as possible before trips end. This shot kind of has the feeling of each morning rolled up in one.

Most morning I found myself on the beach. This particular morning I walked 10 steps from the bed grabbed the camera and started shooting. Seemed to work out ok as well.

Thanks for the "monkey wrench" Brad...Very nice...I love a good sunrise on the ocean. It is so peaceful...

great light, Brad. I like how it seems to stop at the edge of the wet sand.

Brad,

Very cool! I agree with Rob, I like the sand in the foreground. Is that a person on the lower left on the beach?

Wow, what a spectacular sunrise Brad! Love your composition too. Keep throwing!

Yeah that is a person in the lower left corner, it is actually a lady holding a small child.

Couldn't ask for a much better sunrise, just wonderful. I like the inclusion of the lady & child on the beach, they give a nice human touch. And I really like the sand & water details in the f/g. Looks like a productive trip to the Atlantic. Good shootin Brad. :smile:
