I photographed this scene in Rhode Island last April on a stormy day with high winds. The pavilion was hunkered down on the beach looking like a spacecraft that had just made an emergency landing. Taking the picture involved a considerable amount of bracing in order to hold the camera still.
For me, beaches are most compelling in their off season clothes.

great composition and a very nice gradient in the sand.
Thanks Peter…I used the gradient in ACR for the sand.
wow, really? and i thought it was natural. great job!
I also smoothed down the sky a bit and reloaded the image. It looked a little too dark, I think.
I love the hoovering and the light of the sand contrasting to the spaceship right in front of the house. The dark front takes the eyes straight to the house. Great shot.
Lol the spaceship is of course the house lol
I’m enjoying your comments, Chris.
It was an isolated structure on the beach that evoked an unusual mood– I always hope these things translate into photographs, but you never know for sure 🙂
It did!! glad you enjoy my comments.
I agree with you about beaches off-season. I prefer the loneliness, clouds, and wind any day.
We all deserve a deserted shore.
Pour moi, la plage est faite pour y aller quand il n’y a personne. Tout son charme est là 🙂
Oui. 🙂
Love the colours.
Thanks Deanne, I do too.
I also love the mood of a deserted beach. Your beautiful shot reminds me of some of Edward Hopper’s paintings, the various green shades and the very well defined lines, I think. It’s beautiful !
Hopper–that is a major compliment which I can only aspire to. As always, thanks for your thoughtful commentary, Isa.
