A look back at summer

DOWN THE SHORE. A three day trip to Wildwood, NJ, mid July to visit my friend Tim.


This is "T" from LA. She was in Philly visiting my roommate Yomi and went with me down to Wildwood.

I didn't ride this roller coaster, but I did stand and stare at it for like 5 minutes before I took this picture. It looks great at night, you can get so close, it just towers above you.

At night on the beach.

Tim baptized by the waves.

Tim lived in Wildwood this summer. He walked around so much in his brown flip flops that the dye in them turned the bottom of his feet red.

This is Craig. Tim's little brother, keeping it real and keeping "T" company while I took photos on the beach. Thanks Craig!

"T" and I got Craig to pay for this haunted ride on the boardwalk. It was not scary at all but it was cool for taking long exposures. Thanks again Craig!

Seagulls are crazy on the boardwalk. Here they started swooping down like they were going to attack all of us.
This is "T" in the roadside motel we stayed in the first night we were in Wildwood. We were really tired when we got there but that didn't stop me from taking pictures. There was a bad thunderstorm that night and I started thinking that the nice man that rented the place to us was really a serial killer and was going to sneak into the window behind my bed that wouldn't lock and stab me a couple of times. It was a dark, remote place like in a scary movie. The wood paneling on the walls reminded me of an old '70s horror movie. Anyway, the next day we woke up, it was bright and sunny, and we headed to Cape May for the day.

These last two photos are from the last morning in Wildwood. It was so dark and hazy, but still there was beauty in it.
