20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Sunrise at the Pier

What a difference a couple of months makes. This shot of the Cherry Grove Fishing Pier at the Prince Resort was taken in the morning of September 2019. It was the last time I was at the beach. We gave up on our spring 2020 trip. We’ll see about September 2020. This fishing pier was destroyed by hurricane Ian in 2022.
