    It has already become overflow parking for The Gulf restaurant. Hope they have a plan for keeping restaurant parking and recreational parking separated.

    This is from March and sure looks to be sighting seeing park with no more parking at the rail to fish from the tailgate. We will see...

    ... and that may not be a 'bad' thang.
    I remember being unnerved a few times by some of the 'characters' that would essentially camp out along the seawall with their grill and sleeping in their cars and such.
    I hated 'tip-toeing' around so as not to rouse them from their inebriated slumber ;-)

    Handicap access to the wall should be about as easy as before with the projected boardwalk.
    We'll see though...

    Its not a bad thing, sometime it was nearly impossible to weave your way around all the set lines.

    That's really scary. The sun is in the wrong place. I've never seen it there before and I've been making this orbit around it for many, many years.

    I suggest that it's a merger of photos for dramatic effect with no regard for reality. Or it could be a *Cloud-fire!
    If the sun ever sets in the South, we're in trouble!

    *a cloud of methane gas combusted by lightning. This is a phenomenon that I just made up, but it it turns out to be a thing, I'll take credit for the discovery.

    LOL
    Good thing i know Micheal runs some color enhancing routines on his pics.
    But it was taken just prior to our sunrise when the direct rays were shining through the rain falling from that cloud top.
    Like a million billion tiny raindrop mirrors they reflect the sun's rays.
    Pretty neat effect!
