Headed to Sea

Today, we head out to sea where the air is clear and connectivity, at least for me. doesn't exist. That being the case, I'm doing something that I don't normally allow myself to consider in sharing some photos from yesterday. Normally, I confine the photographic content of N2N-TCP to contemporary photos, but I woke up this morning and these panoramic shots from yesterday had come together overnight, and I won't have connectivity to share anything that comes together today.

The best area that I've found to see the sunset in the immediate vicinity (so far anyway), are the bluffs overlooking the municipal pier in Fairhope, AL.  There are about five or six individual vistas that are quite spectacular, and yesterday I managed to get to three of them during the setting of the sun and have these photos to share.  They are presented in the order they were taken.

Sunset -Fairhope, AL
This pier is publically accessible, so it's a great spot for a little romance during the setting of the sun.

Sunset #2 - Fairhope, AL
The piers to the left are private piers, but the one directly in front of the lamp in the foreground is publically accessible. This shot is taken from the bluffs overlooking the beach park at the bottom from the walking path and grass park at the top of the drop-off. There is access via wooden stairs between the to areas of the park.

Fairhope Seahorse at Sunset
This welded metal seahorse on the bluffs overlooking the beach is a great location to watch the day fade over the horizon. There are a large number of public art installations throughout the City of Fairhope, AL. I may have to take a day to lay them all out for a comprehensive visit. I suspect it would result in a fairly long walk as well.

By custom, I'm looking forward to the next couple of days at sea. I hope to get some time to relax and really enjoy the experience as well as successfully close out some concerns we have with a ship for the folks that currently fund my walking and writing habits.  It should be good.
