On the Rocks - Atlantic Beach North Carolina

There is a small rock jetty located at the swimming area at Fort Macon State Park. The last sand replenishment project covered much of the small jetty. A few boulders continue to stick out above the sand. In this image a wave rushes up on the sand and around one of the rocks. A slow shutter speed was used to add a sense of movement to the salt water.

Thie digital image was made on a hot, mid-July evening at about sunset. The golden light of the setting sun is reflected on the rock with hints of warm color seen on the blue water. The beaches of the Crystal Coast are some of the prettiest to be found on the East Coast.
