Pier Into The Storm
Floating
Delta Lake State Park
The rain paused late in the afternoon allowing me to get out with the camera for the sunset. The haze from the wildfires is still apparent in the photos but not of the degree to obscure the view. Of course, there were still plenty of clouds in the sky. The sun decided to jump behind those clouds as I arrived at Delta Lake. It was OK, I had a good time exploring. I really liked colors reflected in the clouds and water…
Wildfire Haze
Delta Lake State Park
A couple alerts this week saw Delta Lake empty for the sunrise. In addition to the air quality alerts from the Canadian wildfires there is an algae bloom on the lake. I had the beach area to myself for the sunset Thursday evening. The bloom might be on the downside as I didn’t see too much evidence of it but the haze in the sunset is definitely from the wildfires. The constant smell of a campfire is starting to wear thin as well…
Emblaze
Indialantic, Florida
One of the best parts of staying in the Melbourne/Palm Bay area of Florida is the duality presented by the barrier island along the mid-Florida east coast. If I want a sunrise I can find it looking out into the Atlantic Ocean but if it is a sunset I crave then I can find it looking out into the Indian River Lagoon. The town of Indialantic is such a spot (hence the name, a blend of Indian River Lagoon and Atlantic Ocean).
This is an abandoned dock and boat lift near Riverside Park. I couldn’t resist the framing provided by the clouds and sun rays. Not long after this image was captured it rained briefly in Melbourne but then quickly moved on. Don’t worry, I didn’t wet… 🙂
A Florida Sunset
Bellamy Harbor Night
Bellamy Harbor Park
It was the night of the full moon. OK, not until 11:38pm. And yes, we all know I would be sleeping at that time. It didn’t stop me from going to Bellamy Harbor to look for images.
I waited until the sun had set and thought I might find an image with the moon rising. Until then, I walked around the park pointing my camera at everything. I was a little surprised at the number of people still enjoying the park.
There was plenty of color in the sky so I had to get an image from the Mill St. bridge.
The grand view of the harbor and park is good but I wanted something a little more “intimate”. Wait, is that right for a landscape image? Oh well, I gave it a try…
Enough of the standard views, how about something different. One with the bridge. That might work, the angle can be a little tough but I have confidence in you…
The light is fading, the sky is getting darker. The full moon is going to be bright. Think! The water tower? Maybe. Go give it a look…
There are images all around, you only have to look. It was a great night at the harbor…
