The Enthusiastically Amateurish Photographer

The 365 - 10/17/17 - Day 86

Happy Tuesday everyone - Photos with a higher vantage point are rare for me.  I usually have found myself in the action and thus quite a few of my photos take on a more traditional ground-level perspective.  A trip I took several years ago gave me a chance to change some of that.  I had a room on a cliffside overlooking the water and beach.  This gave me an opportunity to take a few shots from this higher vantage point and give a more bird's-eye view of the scene.  These days, this kind of shot is quite a bit more common now that drones are increasing in availability and popularity.  However, I think this makes this kind of shot even more special for me because while I can't say that I worked very hard to get this shot (I think I was standing in front of the hammock on the balcony I had been laying in just before), but nevertheless they were and are rare in my overall photo library.   I originally showed this image in color, but I think I like the black and white version here a bit better as it seems to not belong to a given time period.  It seems a bit more timeless as I am sure this beach will continue to be.  Enjoy your Tuesday -
