What is great about the Ocean is that it is always different. Anyone who has lived on or near the ocean will tell you that no two days are alike. This shot was taken in Gulf Shores, AL on what used to be called Baldwin Beach. Now it is simply known as West Beach. It is tucked right near the sand spit that opens to Mobile Bay. A beautiful area that in essence what sub-tropical Gulf of Mexico is. It is a very bountiful land with great fishing, 80 degree summer water, & endless 'sugar sand' beaches.
I took this photo on a common sunset stroll down the beach, on an uncommon clear sky of a night. Mobile Bay brews a many storms throughout the year. I am lucky though because where our house is, very often will not be hit by what the bay brews up. Unless of course a Hurricane is on its way. One can see purple electrical storms over the water all night, with only a brief drizzle over head. It is truly a remarkable place.
This shot was taken with a Canon Rebel XT, Aperture 5.6, ISO 200, 1/20 shutter speed. I think what came out is something majestic. Showing a calm night in a place that seems to never be calm.
Enjoy.
