Weekend at the Jersey Shore

Strathmere Summer 2009A few weeks ago, Natalie and I spend some time at the Jersey Shore in Strathmere. The beach that was completely destroyed by hurricanes last fall, is beginning to be slowly rebuild and transformed. Large amounts of rocks were brought in to further fortify the beach and further along the beach a construction company is building some sort of a plumbing device with massive pipes that I’m assuming with further prevent floods and beach corrosion from future storms.

Strathmere Beach

New Jersey ShoreOver the summer I’ve managed to get some really great shots of the beach on Strathmere island in Southern New Jersey. Because of an approaching storm, the beach was closed off with yellow police tape. I couldn’t resist climbing over the tape and over a dirt mound that protected the incoming tide from residential properties located just a few feet away. Having just purchased a Sigma 10-20mm Wide Angle lens for my Canon XSI, I went on shooting frenzy along with my broken-down tripod for several hours trying to get as many shots as possible before the twilight hour ended. I’ve posted additional shots of the beach in my photography section.
