Extremely Low Tide at the Pier [Travel ]
Uploaded: January 12, 2009 00:10:17
Today is my FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY at BetterPhoto! This image is dedicated to ALL OF YOU! Especially the photographers and friends I have made over the years who inspire me daily. I also want to thank the staff at BetterPhoto for your hard work and dedication to the art!
This image was captured last night at the Oceanside Pier in Southern California. It was low tide and the beach was remarkable.
The colors in this photograph were NOT altered!!
THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!
