it sure is windy...

an early morning on the beach before sunrise.. 46* so not too bad until one factors in the wind out of the West at 20+ mph.. high tide also so not much beach to walk around on.. the surf was 'angry'.. very few people or dog-walkers this morning in these conditions

Sunrise over the low clouds 

Sandpiper picking thru the sand

angry windswept surf

wind blowing the tops of waves

and more

very few dog-walkers .. not much beach at high tide

sand blowing off the dunes onto the walkway at 40th street

sun peeking out over the dunes
