PhotoHunt: Low

photohunter7iq.png

This week's theme is "Low."

Low tide at Surf City, NC, and the beach is wide.

161

At high tide, the waves come all the way up to the dunes, and there is barely any beach at all.

Topsail Island

You can find more Photo Hunters and join the hunt here.

Thanks for visiting and have a good weekend.

I was admiring the beauty of the first photo until I saw how dangerous it could be during high tides. :P Anyway, those were beautifully taken. :)

Hi Annie, gorgous photos and a great take on this week's theme. You're going to smile again when you see my post. :)

I love the cloud formations in both your low and hide tide shots. Surf City NC is very beautiful!

Have a great weekend!

Carver:

Great idea and beautiful shots. It is amazing how much beach is lost over time. I remember when there was so much more beach on all the NC coastlines and it's a shame too that some of the more fragile areas have been built on.

I remember when Topsail had extensive nesting areas and tall grasses where the sound and ocean meet and it worried me when NC allowed development on that fragile end of the island. Sorry I'm babbling but having been going to the NC coast my entire life, I've seen a lot of changes over the past 50 years of my lfetime.

***********************

Carver, I know. I've been going to NC beaches since I was a kid too, and the development worried me too sometimes. But at least it's not like Myrtle Beach! Someone told me that they have put limits on the amount of development on Topsail since Hurricane Fran destroyed so much of it.

menehune:

Love ocean shots - seems NE beaches vary little in looks - ocean and atmosphere is definitely changing our shores. Soil erosion here is a huge problem. We've had some houses fall into the sea. Those houses seem to be precariously close with high tide as well! menehune

**********************

Menehune, this particular beach was devastated by Hurricane Fran about 10 years ago. There used to be more front row homes before that storm.

Sherry @ EX Marks the Spot:

I wonder if the color of the roof in the first picture was selected just to match the surroundings. Beautiful. Love the ocean pictures.
