We had to make a trip up to the Carolinas for a few days and stopped along the way to visit friends.  We were in a beachfront suite one day and I caught a couple of decent shots from the balcony.

As I looked out over the balcony, the first thing that caught my eye was the black chairs below me with a hard sun overhead. The shadows were continuations of the table and chairs and looked pretty interesting to me.

I was up early the next morning. There weren’t enough clouds to give the sky any drama but, the horizontal bands were a nice contrast with the low tide beach lines with just enough walkers to show the scale.

Without the color of the sky, it was a study in greys as a family walked along.
