in October 2020 at Emerald Isle, NC. My favorite time of year at the beach here in NC is October and I usually try to spend a week at a beach house. I'm out with my camera every morning--before dawn--to capture the change in colors of the sunrise. After the sun is up, I pay more attention to what has washed up on the beach overnight. This particular grouping of shells caught my eye one morning, partly because it was highlighted by the early golden light. Other than cropping the shot and boosting the saturation a bit, I've made no other edits to the photo.
Edited to add: my favorite sunrise shot that morning
and favorite sunset shot that evening (which captured the sunlight through the spray from the waves)
which demonstrates one reason Emerald Isle is my favorite beach in NC in the fall: the sun both rises and sets over the Atlantic Ocean because the beach faces south.
