    The chair was on the beach last night when we arrived and was still there when we checked out.

    Looking south, commercial development ceases abruptly.

    I changed position, and this works a lot better at showing the development without the hotel getting quite as much attention, even if it does still dominate the picture more than I’d like.

    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.

    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.
