Lifeguard Shack, Jones Beach

The Lifeguard Shack at Jones Beach. 

The place sure looks different in October. 

 My wife and I were originally planning to hold our wedding reception a few hundred yards from this place. We left a deposit and everything. 

A few days later, we received a phone call telling us a mistake was made and there was a fire department diner scheduled for that same night. They tried hard to get us to switch our date. We were disappointed and found another place.

The day before our wedding, Hurricane Gloria came and destroyed the catering hall. We had our reception elsewhere...

funny how things work out sometimes.

I took a walk along the beach this morning, before the big crowds arrived. This was the closed section of the ocean beach, so no lifeguards or swimmers. There were a couple of sunbathers, but careful framing cropped them out.

The ocean was flat and there was little wind. It was beautiful.
