Okay, okay, can anyone refer me to a twelve step program for wide angle abusers? 'I'm sorry,' he said for the hundredth time, 'I can't help it. I see a sweeping vista, and I have to have it ALL. I crank that zoom ring until the lens is pegged as wide as it will go, and then I start snapping!'
Honestly, there was just sooo much beach, and Gulf of Mexico, and so much SKY! So forgive me if the edges of the world are creeping up just a bit. I had to do whatever I could to capture as much of it as I could, for you! In fact, I have also uploaded an even larger version than the click-to-see above. If you would like to see an 1800px wide version of this picture, click here. (The one above is 600px wide, the click-to-see is 1200px wide.)
For the record, when I took this picture, I was standing in the Dog Beach section of the island. Yes, it is a beach where you can bring your pets and frolic in the sand and surf with them. Neat, eh? In the picture, I am looking pretty much West, or maybe Northwest, with the Gulf of Mexico ahead, and Hurricane Pass to my left. There were not many people around, and I can only imagine that is because it was a bit windy and chilly for the locals.
