Two Years Ago today,
around 3 a.m. as a category 4---,
Hurricane Harvey made landfall,
taking our fencing by its powerful force
and displacing many in the town of Rockport Texas
about 30 miles from our home.
Many and much are still under recovery!!!

On Friday this week I left home about an hour before sunrise, heading to Indian Point Park with tidal pools and open bay waters which attracts those two legged walkers/joggers and a multitude of shore birds on North Beach. Here's what I saw after I began my walk. It was still dark, the view from the park's parking lot showed the city in a blanket of lights, the harbor bridge was still illuminated with animated colors. From the fishing pier, the lights glowed on the sea. But, on the Eastern horizon, the sky, no longer dark, was showing signs of the night vanishing. There won't be much of a sunrise because of the cloud bank. Still....
Dawn breaks on a new day....
These photos are absolutely stunning! Night in the city. The first one of the lighted bridge is so beautiful. My other favorites are third row on the right, and fourth row on the right.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is how the sea glows under the pier lights.
DeleteHello, pretty views and sky captures. I like the lights at night. Happy Sunday, enjoy your day. wishing you a great new week ahead.
ReplyDeleteThanks Eileen. I'm still learning nighttime photography.
DeleteWhat a project. I'm often awake at 5:30, but I'm happier indoors!!!! Good work.
ReplyDeleteFor me...outdoors!
DeleteOh, Anni, I LOVE so many of these...they are wonderful in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteGreat to know Rose. Thanks.
DeleteAnni I'm convinced you were a professional wildlife/nature photographer for Nat. Geo in another life. Wow the early bird surely caught a prize as the day dawn.
ReplyDeleteHugs Cecilia
Golly Ms. C.
Deletethanks!
I love your photos of a new day being born. You are definitely a talented photographer. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank D J
DeleteIsn't the early morning the best time? Love the remnants of the night still hanging in there with the colorful lights. I would love to walk on that pier.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good place to get some walking done! I too like that pier.
DeleteNot only does the sea really glow under the pier lights, the sky above is really magnificent! Oh, and the touch of red water in the bottom right corner - what awesome balance and beauty you have captured!
ReplyDeleteI think the 'red glow' is boulders under the street light at the parking lot
DeleteI love morning photography! You have some amazing shots here.
ReplyDeleteI remember when the hurricane hit there, hard to believe it's been 2 years.
I love mornings period!
DeleteLovely pictures.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ruth
DeleteThese are all wonderful photos but the third down on the right jumped right out at me. There is something about that picture with the water and the lights that make it extra appealing.
ReplyDeletePretty & eerie at the same time
DeleteI use feedly to comment, this did not come up on the feed, the last one I show is strolling. now what's up with feedly? I wonder who else is not showing. thanks for letting me know.
ReplyDeleteAll the photos are gorgeous, number 1, 7 and 8 are really beautiful, love them. Two weeks after Harvey hit you, Irma hit us... I hope Dorian does not come our way or your way. we are watching.
I was HOPING you two were okay!
DeleteI always enjoy your early morning photos.
ReplyDeleteI love the early morning and these photos were special..... thank you.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see you here Ms B!
DeleteYour photos are incredible, Anni.
ReplyDeleteI don't get up until 10:00 AM as I go to bed way past midnight.
I used to be one who stayed up late too. After the birth of my children it's been early to bed, early to rise.
