Blue Sky and Palm Trees

For many years Betsy and I would go to Ocean Isle Beach in North Carolina between Thanksgiving and Christmas.  The beach was much less crowded during that time, but the seafood was still delicious.  I got a picture of the palm trees against a blue sky outside our motel a few years ago.  I then used software to make the photo look more like a drawing.

Betsy and I try to get to Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, at least once a year.  We normally travel there in May (before the season gets started) or December (after the season winds down.  This schedule means there are fewer people around and that we often have the beach to ourselves.

I got this picture of the Ocean Isle Beach pier on a May morning a few years ago.  I like the reflection of the pier in the wet sand of the beach.  Since it was an overcast day, I thought the photo would look good as a monochrome mage.
