HUNTING BEACH LIGHTHOUSE

  On our trip to Parris Island I did get to take some shots down at Hunting Beach State Park. This park is absolutely beautiful. White sandy beach with lots of palm trees, Palmetto Bushes, and Spanish Moss hanging from trees.
  The lighthouse at Hunting Beach was definitely my favorite target. Not as tall as the lighthouses in the Outer Banks of North Carolina that I visited a few years back, but the wonderful natural landscape surrounding it made it a must to photograph.
  Today's post was taken on Wednesday evening from the beach looking back through the fencing and palm trees at the lighthouse.  Thursday evening we went back and I set up at the same spot but could hardly take a shot due to the extremely strong winds blowing in off the ocean.  The winds tried to blow my camera and tri-pod over several times and made getting good shots impossible.

  1. Really like the top shot here, Jerry. Nice muted colors and I like how the light house is still in shadow.

  2. Thanks, Mark. I agree with you and debated whether I should even include the second one.
