Surf's Out!
Uploaded: December 22, 2006
A bit of snow and offshore winds created a surreal setting at Wallis Sands Beach on the NH coast. This has been the extent of winter in the Seacoast NH area. This image was made late in the day as the sun provided dramatic backlighting of the blowing snow. Tamron 17-50mm lens, f16.
