Day at the Beach

I was fooled by the sunshine out my window into thinking that it was warmer than it was. Plus, the girls were off playing paintball and Andy was out bike riding. I was inside, cleaning and putzing around the house. Not fair. So, I grabbed my new camera and decided to head down to Sandy Hook and the beach.

I stopped first by the Twin Lighthouses in Highlands, thinking I'd get some shots there. A few, but nothing that really excited me. Do like this one of the canon.


Then I headed out onto Sandy Hook. Once I realized how cold it actually was - and how VERY windy it was - I was actually quite surprised by the number of people out. Most were surfers, but there were several people walking around or riding bikes. One bicyclist was even wearing ski goggles to help with the blowing sand. I got several decent pictures of the dunes and waves and a couple from down at the old Ft. Hancock, which is at the very tip of Sandy Hook. They still have marine biology classes here, but for the most part it seems pretty deserted. The rows of old military housing were just too freaky. Reminded me of something out of some creepy, scary mystery movie that would take place on Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard or something. Course the gray clouds and cold probably didn't help. Great photos though.
