20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Cherry Grove Pier by Night

This shot of the Cherry Grove Fishing Pier at the Prince Resort was taken in the morning of September 2019 well before sunrise. It was the last time I was at the beach. We gave up on our spring 2020 trip. We’ll see about September 2021. This pier was later destroyed by hurricane Ian in 2022.
