topsail shadows

So. My lens is never free of at least one grain of sand. I'm a slob. I love my camera. I respect it. I clean it. Constantly. Still. The dirt. It clings to my life. Maybe that's why I love so much to step into the water, walk way out, and let the ocean wash it all away. I never feel cleaner, happier, more peaceful, more alive. Dust aside, though, the top photo gets me for the shadows on the boardwalk. The angle and the intensity, given the light and the clouds....The second one? "Take your shoes off. Come in." The water always says that.
