My Favorite Place - The Ocean

My favorite place has always been and will always be the ocean. Okay, maybe not always. I love other places just as much but there is something about the ocean that makes me happy. The feel of your feet in warm sand, the sound of waves crashing onto the shore, and the vibrant colors as the sun sets.

We just got home from spending two nights at the coast with some friends and I've been busy editing all the pictures I took.

Your can't go to the ocean without watching the sun set and for once there was no fog ruining this experience.

I got these sunglasses at walmart for $5.  They are so cute and I love how reflective the lens are.  Been wanting to take a picture like this for a while.  

My sister found this neat shell like thing and I couldn't help but take a picture of it.

The sunset wasn't as stunning as I wanted but what can you do.  You get what you get.  I boosted the saturation and it looks better.  I love the bluffs fading in the background.

This was in the other direction away from the sunset. I love how the longer shutter speed blurred the water.

I am extremely proud of this shot.  I did photoshop the volley ball in.  I've always wanted to capture an amazing silhouette and well, here it is.  beach volleyball at sunset.
