Lens Artists Photo Challenge #314 – Shorelines

Posted in PhotographyTagged , , , , ,

Anne introduced this challenge by starting out with the question “Where do you find peace and relaxation?”

The rest of her introduction says “I find mine wherever water touches land. Yes, any type of shoreline. It may be a beach, a lake, a pond, a creek; you know where I’m going. I’m heading to the shore.”

I agree 100% with Anne. Wherever water touches land is where I want to be. Being near water soothes my soul.

I have thousands of shoreline images from our travels. I narrowed down my selections for this challenge to include American shorelines along the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the Gulf of Mexico, and Alaska.

Here are a few Atlantic Ocean shorelines from Maine to Florida.

    1. Tina, thank you. I had a hard time deciding how to approach this challenge. When I was choosing the images I wanted to show how different the coasts are in different parts of the country. I’m glad you liked seeing them.
