Sky Watch at Sandy Hook

Last Sunday we went to Sandy Hook, a lovely beach with dunes at the top of the New Jersey Shore. There is a bay side and an ocean side to Sandy Hook.

In contrast to the golden sunset above, the sky was blue at the beach a few hours earlier.

The first picture is amazing! I like how you captured the sun's reflection on the water...

Thanks. That was taken from the car, as we were stuck in traffic at Sandy Hook for almost 3 hours. Everything there is one lane. There are benefits to being stuck in traffic if you are in a beautiful place.

Love your photo of the sunset with the sun reflected in the water, stunning! Sounds like you had a wonderful day beachside (or bayside!)

The sunset is wonderful but I really liked those few faint whisps of cloud in the blue sky in the second shot. They made for a nice detail to the whole lovely view. Like someone had gone over the sky with a small and pointed paintbrush.

That sunset is beautiful. You are wise to be on the beach on Sunday, it was H-O-T around that part of the country.

On the other hand, we were stuck in traffic on the way there for an extra hour and *3* hours in traffic in Sandy Hook itself on the way back. The "wisdom" had its drawbacks.

How beautiful - that reflected light in the water is just glorious.

Sandy Hook was always our beach of choice too when I was a kid, probably because it was the closest, but also because it wasn't all icky and overdeveloped like some of the other beaches "down the shore".

The big A made by the planes is a real catch! Incredible actually.
