Your Best Shot Gallery: May 2016

During our vacation at Emerald Isle, NC I woke up every moing to see a sunrise and to get a good beach photograph. I visited the Bogue Inlet Pier five moings hoping to get good light and a pretty sky. The first four sunrises didn't cooperate with too many clouds and not enough color to make the photograph I had envisioned. During the sunrise of the fifth moing, a huge cloud rolled in, covered up the sun, and I was about to give up when it moved just enough out of the way to allow me to capture this awesome scene. This image is the product of persistence, patience, and a little luck.
