Underneath a pier at the beach in Surf City, NC on Topsail Island. Beautiful day at the beach, just love the colors in this especially the blue in the water and the green on the pier support poles. I wanted to accent the color because it was so beautiful and tranquil.
This is by far my favorite photograph taken. I am just taken away into a dream world of a beach with beautiful vibrant colors and the waves breaking on my feet as I stand still with my eyes closed and feel the sea breeze.

This is a stunning shot, I’m surprised it hasn’t been featured! Try Shapes and Patterns group and Tunnel Vision also perhaps.

Thank you! My Aunt actually showed me this and noted that it looked like a church, I took so many shots standing underneath, I was worried my camera would get wet!
