23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Challenging the Waves
To many America families summertime requires beach time. My family is no different. The week we were at the beach the weather was perfect, but the ocean was angry. Large waves for mid-Atlantic beaches with strong rip tides. Red flag warning all week. But that did not stop these four friend from challenging the breakers landing close to shore.
