Other than being painted white, this could very well be sitting on the Gulf Coast at………..Corpus!!
Yes, they are very handy, we have them here too 🙂
Yes, I don’t know what it is about lifeguard towers. They ARE cool (why??) and I love to photograph them, as do many others I know. Nice that you were able to capture #1!!
That looks like a great beach.
They are needed here ~ lots of undertows in ocean at times ~ Great sky shot with bench juxtaposed against it ~ nice beach too ~ ^_^
It does look cool.
Nice one.
Greetings
I like this lifeguard tower. I haven’t noticed any lifeguard tower on our public beaches.
Wonderful shot.
Our beach swimming areas (county lakes) are only open from Memorial Day to Labor Day, so they are empty most of the year, too.
Hello, cool shot of the beach. and lifeguard tower. Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend!
That is a real nice image with that pretty blue sky. I have seen similar in Virginia Beach.
Beautiful sky for a day at the beach
the whole image is so summer-y and relaxing.
Yes indeed, I just had to photograph one on our vacation. I’m thinking it might be a fun collection to shoot. Besides, it’s a great excuse to go to the beach.
Really lovely photo! I like all the colors in the sky. Have a great weekend. cheers
