06-23-12 The Sole Remains

A single foot print in the sand caught my attention as I was making my way back to our dinghy after supper. There is nothing particularly creative about this shot or subject but two things stopped me in my tracks (bad pun): the great side lighting of the print caused by the low sun angle and the diagonal striations in the sand caused by the last wave that lapped across the shoreline line.This print was gone with the next wave and so was I.

01-01-11 Sunrise

This photo is a result of being in the right place at the right time - with the right lens, which was a 17-40 mm wide angle lens. The beach is along the so-called Maya Riviera south of Playa del Carmen, Mexico. Seing the sunrise along this stretch of beach is a bit rare since there always seem to be clouds along the horizon. But on this day, the sun showed its face for about 5 minutes and so I get the great play of light along the sand.
