NOV 2011 ~ Sunset on the Secret Beach
This is at the far northern end of the main Jenner Beach. Not visible unless you go exploring and are willing to climb over some reasonably easy to negotiate rocks.

Here's a similar pic to the one last week that i posted. Taken minutes apart in the same location. One of those "candy store" shots. Meaning i felt like a kid in a candy store as the cotton candy clouds were pulled across the sky. The light and color was gorgeous and the air was thick with magic, i don't know how else to describe it. I had trouble finding proper foreground here, leaping from stone to stone looking for something interesting. All the dark moss is usually underwater, this was a very low tide and admittedly if i had known before hand that it was low tide i would have gone somewhere else to shoot. I made the most of it and came away with a few shots i was happy with.

Io, io ce l'ho fatta fino ai trentasette, più o meno, David uguale e mio fratello ha chiuso ancora prima. E non sono certa che esista una cura per il rimpianto. Temo di no. [...]

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.
