Welcome to Breakfast in America
I’m a Brit who unexpectedly emigrated to the USA in 2008, and this is my photo journal.
It’s an eclectic mix of things; there’s no guiding theme or topic. It is whatever catches my attention, what I’ve been thinking, doing, or piques my interest. Currently that’s mainly backpacking and clearing some of the backlog on my ‘honey-do’ list.

Commercial Development

Hilton Ocean City. Maryland. Road trip, November ’24. Copyright © 2024 Gary Allman, all rights reserved. This wasn’t meant to be a picture of a hotel. I was more interested in how commercial development dominates the environment and how the buildings seem to run forever along the coast.
Hindsight suggests I should have picked a starting point for the image with a less dominating subject. Also, the focus is a tad soft for some reason.

Ginger dips her toes in the Atlantic Ocean. Lily Beach, Delaware

Ginger dips her toes in the Atlantic Ocean. Lily Beach, Delaware. Road trip, November ’24. Copyright © 2024 Gary Allman, all rights reserved. After we visited Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, we headed down the Delaware coast and stopped for our first view of the Atlantic Ocean in many years (March 2014).
We then continued down the coast in search of somewhere to stay.
Ginger found a great deal on a hotel in Ocean City, Maryland. One look at the view of the Atlantic from our room’s balcony and we both said that we must set an alarm for sunrise the next day.
