Mountauk point beach view


Mountauk point beach view, originally uploaded by vskiran.

This is the northern view of the ocean from Montauk Light house. The is the first light house in New york and the fourth oldest in USA. It was constructed by 1796 by George Washington.
This place also happens to be the north eastern most tip of United states situated in long island. Since its on an island, you could watch both the sunrise and the sunset. I spent nearly two days at the beach rising early in the morning at 4:30a. Alas bad cloudy weather prevented any good sunrise/sunset photographs. Well there is always next time. Nevertheless, I was able to observe this beautiful view from the top of the lighthouse.

Yes this is where the Hamptons are.. so called the summer playground of the riches. This place has its style of it own, it's shopping, food could remind you of the olden times. Historic grandeur and riches blended with numerous private beaches and golf courses.

I still remember driving 40 miles back just to find a vacany in a motel. Still cant believe that so many hotels/motels were completely occupied for the long weekend.

I could relate to you pretty well. Photography can be absolutely frustrating at times. You have to feel it to know it. It needs all the patience in the world. Hope my persistence pays one day.. :)
