Piers and sunsets are my favorite subjects. Unfortunately most of the parks close right at or before sunset. After hearing a horror story about being locked in I was going to make sure to leave before that happened. I found the Spruce Creek park and pier to be very scenic. Fearing that there would be crowds of people on the pier was unfounded. I arrived early to scope out the best angles and get in some early shots of the pier with the beautiful afternoon light. The pier has a nice angle to it and can be shot while on the pier or at ground level with the marsh in the foreground. Next time I need to bring a red kayak! The sunrise didn't disappoint but it reached its peak as we drove out of the park and down Route one.
