Boca Grande Lighthouse - Gasparilla Island, Florida

Well infidels, I'm back at work on this very windy morning. I tried to go to the beach this morning to get some shots of the surf, but the cops chased me away... "Beach is Closed. Move on." So I'll have to post images from other windy rainy days and from other locations in the state. Here is one from from the beach on Gasparilla Island, Florida that I took in 2003. I'll never forget this trip. My summer vacation was ruined by a tropical system which dumped tons of rain on me. I did get some decent shots though.
For now, there are 63 days left until the end of hurricane season. Let's see if we luck out. Our state needs a break.

Great tones in this b&w. Nicely composed, too.

Too bad about that cop chasing you away and back to work. ;)

I hate it when that happens... Cops have no concept of artistry. I'm living in a wooden house with scrap plywood shutters. Do I feel safe? No. But the missus does and that is what counts. They are staying on till Nov 30.
