STILL CATCHIN' UP--

Here are two more pics in a short series of photos taken while we enjoyed our first beach-side, sunrise of our journey south.  I liked this composition with the palm tree dwarfing the human elements of the photo and the rising sun just peeking over the horizon and claiming center stage--even though it is some 93 million miles from Earth and actually rose about 8 minutes before it became visible to us.

It takes that long for light to travel those 93 million miles at 186,000 miles per second.

That's Bill and Terri and Sue on Tybee Island, GA.

The lower photo was done just a bit later as we were exploring the beach beneath the Tybee Island Pier. 
Note how the color temperature of the sunlight has shifted to the cooler range of the spectrum in that short length of its morning ascension.

I was going to correct the sloped horizon of the sea but did not because I found the competing angularity between the piers and the horizon pleasurable.
