    Sunset Beach Sunset over Bird Island. 8-12-2016

    At the end of the West Main Street there are a few parking places where on a clear evening you can catch some beautiful sunsets over Bird Island. I try to go there at least once or twice when I am down there hanging out on the coast.

    Sunrise on Sunset Beach 8-11-2016

    6:55 AM on Sunset Beach. The sun had been behind the clouds most of the morning. I arrived at 5:30 thinking this was a wasted trip. The sky was overcast, and it looked as if when the light did come all I would get is a few murky photos. But waiting around paid off. As the sun came up it burned off the gray murky haze and then it peaked just above the clouds for a few minutes before it got too high in the sky to keep any color. I felt blessed that I was able to be there the moment it broke through the clouds and painted the sky with golden color.

  • Sunset over Lake Jocassee 5-7-2016

    Sunset over Lake Jocassee 5-7-2016

    Sunset as seen from Jumping Off Rock over looking Lake Jocassee in South Carolina. Getting to the spot can be tough on a standard car or truck. I recommend a 4X4. It is 10 miles of rugged dirt road, once you leave the pavement to get here. The trip takes about 45 minutes. But man is it worth the drive. I usually try to be on site an hour before sunset. This place can get a little crowded, so if you don't go early enough you might not get the best spot to take it all in or take photos. Depending on the time of year the sun will set at different places on the horizon. So each time you go the view is a little bit different.
