I really love how the sun makes those diagonal lines on the shore. I know Old Orchard Beach was a hot ticket back in it's heyday. This shot without human beings makes me feel sad. I'm visualizing ghosts from a time past...I can only imagine the activity and energy there was there at one time. Nice work, Alan! #1560438
