Long Exposures at Hazard Rock

There was another impending snow storm and the forecast was for overcast skies and gray days. But I took my chances one evening with a break in the clouds before the storm's arrival, and headed down to Point Judith Lighthouse. I wanted something different than my lost shot at PJ light but the closer I got to the lighthouse, the more the shore had been burmmed up by the winter tides, leaving step...

It isn't as populated or developed as many of those other beaches because it's surrounded by Trustom Pond Wildlife Refuge and Card's Pond to either side. The beach is littered with stones of all shapes and sizes and most of the dunes are protected as part of the wildlife...
