Took this down at the beach in our town. We're not on the Atlantic but were on a kind of giant inlet called Long Island Sound, though it is called an estuary. It is salt water and comes in and around Long Island.... From our town, we look across the Sound to see the northern shore of Long Island. The beach here is OK but the beaches on the southern shore of Long Island are stunning and seem to go on forever. That's where I swim, when I can't be in North Carolina's Outer Banks.

Unfortunately one can't harvest the shellfish around here unless the area has been recognized as safe.
 
Beautiful sky, BB.

Do people harvest the shellfish anyway? I often see they do near Cramond Island beside me, despite the warning signs.
 
Thanks so much you all. I really thought I would choose color but somehow it just seemed to call out for B&W.

It was an incredibly beautiful and bright day... I had my polarized sunglasses (prescription) on which often made it almost impossible for me to see whether I was exposing properly... I think this time I could see. I have some more from that walk and will see how they turned out.

Karen, as for harvesting the shellfish - not there, unless they do it under the cover of darkness, though I am sure that people do harvest where they should not - that is the nature of man.
 
Unexploded mines and other things ...

Somewhere in the East Neuk of Fife, I'm guessing it might be Inverkeithing, captured with my e-pl1 but its anyone's guess which lens ... though it might have been the kit lens then. Can't remember. Tweeked with silver efex.
 
Sigma DP1 in Brisbane. It was getting towards the end of the work day, and we had been driving around Brisbane for a while. We stopped at the Brisbane Powerhouse, which has an array of strange signs all around.

Contax T3 in a suburban street. I was struck by the almost incomprehensible nature of this sign, and thought of the poor people trying to park in the street.

Canon G7 around and about. This was in a reserve near my house. Behind a barb wire fence there is a power relay or something, hence the danger signs.

Canon 30D in Hong Kong. The sheer fun of this really caught me. Which gap are we supposed to mind, exactly?
