Barefoot Landing at Night

(This picture can be enlarged by clicking on it.  Clicking a second time will make it full-sized.)

Betsy and I go the the beach in May of almost every year.  But we've also gone a couple of times in December to get a winter seafood fix.  The temperatures are much cooler and the days are shorter, but that does have some advantages.  We visited a nearly deserted Barefoot Landing in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, where I got this night picture of Old Glory.  I didn't notice the plane coming in for a landing until I uploaded the photo to my computer.

What a beautiful capture of light and mood. And, lucky you, to get the surprise of the plane. I love how the light enhances the flag...lovely.

I LOVE the flag at night, a really great photo idea. Barefoot Landing?? You know me, WHY? I can't imagine...

Beautiful shot of the flag bathed in the lights. And interesting that you caught a plane coming in, too. Barefoot Landing is an interesting name.

Excellent and beautiful shot. But just what is Barefoot landing?
I have a hard time with night photos. Sometimes they work and sometimes not. Oh well---keep trying, I say. MB

Uma bela foto noturna, com saliência para a feérica iluminação e a bandeira aprumada em primeiro plano.
Um abraço,
Jorge

At first I thought it was about somebody landing on barefoot! But now I know it is the name of the town. Beautiful!

This shot really turned out well.
I love the flag.
It sure has a history. What's even more inspiring is that I just had Nicks friend say to me that if I knitted him a flag shawl he'd wear it.
That's Patriotism for you. Now I'm thinking how I would make such a flag?
Then of course I'd need to make one with the maple leaf for my son then they could both take a picture. They were great pals in US soccer

Beautiful night photo. Funny how we take photos and later find surprises when they're uploaded onto our computers!

Beautiful night shot, George. I want to experiment some with night shots. My little digital is useless in the dark, but I do have a manual Nikon.

Hi George, excellent night scenery. Look beautiful.

Best regards.
