Beautiful and calming view of the sea. I like the beaches that look out on Long Island, but have never been on a LI beach. The CT coastal beach fronts aren't as rough and wild as some of the Cape Cod beaches on the Southern shore. I hear there's a lighthouse around here too that you must have photographed as well.
We'll wait for winter to get to the top step and then push it over. That plan can't go wrong. An interesting perspective in your photo. I might have tried a lower angle so the top rail meets the horizon line. But I always get my composition wrong so don't listen to me. I like the lighting in the scene and the waves breaking on the shore.
