Male Hooded Messengers in flight
(Have them good in the water, too.)

Sunset, low tide, Sullivan's Island
Note the psychotic sky!
An interesting sky makes a sunset photo, IMO...........but this is just too much, smile!

He doesn't look too happy about this sunset, either.

This is a quieter, just slightly, take on the sunset.

This is the opposite direction from the sunset. Nice light on the houses. The sky is reflected in the tidal water. A softer gentler part of the sky. There were people there but not too many. It is a nice beach.

Low Tide, sweet light
I don't know whether cutting the bottom off helps or hurts it. With the bottom there, I think the emptiness of the beach is emphasized, but maybe the top does that well enough.
