I took a little road trip to Shell Beach which is appx 25 miles
south east of New Orleans proper. A hard hit fishing community.
There is a Hurricane Katrina memorial at the end of Yscloskey Hwy....
both on shore and in the water. It's also an area where fishermen take
their boats out to the giant Lake Borgne, it is along the Mississippi River
-Gulf Outlet (MRGO) which is an inlet the leads to the Gulf Of Mexico.
At 110km long, Shell Beach is one of only two beaches in the world made completely out of shells.
The shells on this beach are all the small cockle species Fragum erugatum.
The beach forms a sustainable resource as the shells concrete together and are cut out in blocks and used as a naturally insolating building material.

This large arch opening is a hidden sight in Shell Beach, not many people know where it is or how to get to it. I've only photographed it a couple of times and the approach is so limited and straight forward that it poses a challenge to photograph artistically and with character.
Larger view on black is recommended. Thanks for lookin!

1. I remember... , 2. tides , 3. softly setting sky , 4. a piece of the sea
It's my birthday today, and I can't help but be retrospective... my own personal new year ; )
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Saturday I tried to find a break in the storm to get some shots. When I got to Shell Beach the wind was so cold and it was too rainy to attempt setting up. I ran into Josh Patching and we talked about a small opening in the clouds that had potential. I was too cold to wait it out.
But as I drove on I decided to try anyway. I stopped at Shelter Cove and set up in the gazebo. Then the wind and rain stopped and I was able to get some stormy shots. This was the result of that small break in the clouds.

A summer moon's rise in Shell Beach, California. The pink sky reflects off the rocky shores and water, at long exposure making for a nice combination of elements.
