The tropical depression off the coast of Florida combined with the tidal effects of a new moon created waves no one has ever seen in palm beach county. I have lived here for over 20 years, and I can never remember the water ever reaching this far inland on a tidal surge. Talking with other residents in the area there is a feeling of unique anxiety, as a result of global warming, we have literally lost 50 feet of beach overnight. With huge chunks of shoreline being displaced, one surfer was gazing down at a newly formed berm of sand. The shore was shifting minute to minute. Some turtle nests made it, some didn’t.

I try and get up a few times a month to go down to the beach at sunrise. Here on the East coast of Florida, it’s definitely the best part of the day, and it’s the only time of the day you get to see the sun on the Atlantic Ocean. I like to go when there are clouds about, because usually sunrises and sunsets are pretty boring without some structure in the sky. This is taken with the nikkor 10.5 fisheye, one of my favorite lenses.
