More photos of a Raging Sea off Palm Beach

Photos by Lee Smith

It was a bright windy day with large ocean swells. The beach was not dry due to the crashing shoreline waves that would wash over the beach. Not a normal day – the beach was not safe for sneakers or dry footwear.  Barefoot was the only way to travel. The seagulls and the skimmers hung close to the sand and would only move if a passerby came to close. The winds were blowing out to sea carrying the salt water spray with it. In the water were only a few surfers attempting to ride the large swells.

Glowing Sunrise, Stuart, FL – Photo Art

I was in Stuart, FL in June and had an opportunity to take some sunrise shots. Since I was not familiar with the area, I asked a bar tender at Outback Steak House while eating dinner if he knew any areas or scenic places to photograph. He mentioned this one location that offered public parking and easy access. I was really pleasantly surprised when I go to the beach and saw how beautiful the shoreline was. The Anastasia Limestone Formations run from Palm Beach to St. Augustine and are unusual because they are either buried or underwater normally. This section in Stuart, was simply amazing and stood 8-10ft in some places
