Asbury Park Beach I
With the 4th of July Holiday weekend fast approaching I thought it would be nice to post some hopeful images of nice summer days on the beach. Unfortunately those days have been precious few so far this year with record cold temps and record rainfalls in June. Will July finally usher in summer? I don't know but here's hoping! On the upside I have yet to turn on my air conditioning.
This was shot last weekend in Asbury Park. I was happy to see the boardwalk and the beach busy. It seems that Asbury Park is fighting to regain some of it's former glory. We saw some wonderful cafe's on the boardwalk and a funky beach bar and they were all quite busy even though the weather was not 100% glorious and rained on and off during the day. In fact if you look closely you can see where it is raining off in the distance over the water in this shot.
We saw some unique places on the boardwalk, one a glass blowing place called "Hot Sand" where you can design your own molten glass cast in sand among other things. I have a couple of photos from there which I will post later. It was a very cool shop. Another was a pottery place where you can learn to throw your own pots. I did not have time to go in but I am planning to go back and check it out.

Check out my new slideshow page. The link is here and at the top and bottom of every page. I am testing out several formats for the slideshows each with their own advantages and disadvantages. It will be an evolving process and I will add new ones from time to time. I hope you will stop by and check them out and feel free to leave me some feedback.
I want to take a moment to express my sympathies for the people of Iran during such turbulent times. I hope and pray that they have their voices heard and that the terrible violence against them is ended. I am including some links in this post at the request of a fellow photoblogger.

very nice framing ...
The picture promises the summer.
For several days we have in Germany temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius and the humidity is almost 100 percent, btw.
Not only a lovely composition, but I love that sky! Wow. And this is the Jersey shore? I need to visit more often. :)
Nothing like a fishing scene to usher in Independence Day.
Stunning sky and wide open feel. You have captured the feeling of Summer.
Hope the weather begins to cooperate for you soon. I'll be glad to share some of our 100 degree temps with you if you want?
We just got a solar cover for the pool and have the heat cranked up hoping it will be warm enough for swimming by tomorrow afternoon, brr!!
gorgeous sky ... we are sometimes so lucky :)
Love the lines in the image from the foreground jetty to the sky. Nice.
