JPHarr's Fotothing

At Great Bay, across the Beach Haven Inlet from Atlantic City, there the road ends. South of Tuckerton and over the bridges and marshes of Seven Bridges Road, the terminus is at a former Coast Guard station that now belongs to Rutgers University and is a research outpost.
We slogged around in the pungent mud and marsh grasses, watching the fishing and pleasure boats cruise past, peering through the humid ocean breezes to see the towers of Atlantic City, kicking over the occasional horseshoe crab husk.
It felt good to be away from the traffic and the city, back to the beauty of nature, the sun and wind making my skin feel alive, the ocean spray fragrant with romantic notions of living near the sea.
