Walking the Wall

fog-fishing.jpgWe have the most beautiful shoreline here in North Wildwood.

I took my camera with me the other morning on my walk and tried to capture the beauty… the photos are beautiful but fail to emit the wonderful salty aroma, the quiet serenity, and the history and nostalgia that I feel when I’m on that wall…

as the light on Hereford Lighthouse turned around to shine on the foggy sea I thought of the years gone by when that inlet was bustling with activity… there were 100s of fishing boats docked there at one time before the inlet was dredged in 1953… and before that, there were many schooners that passed by the inlet… it was so dangerous, there were many shipwrecks right there over the years, Steve Murray (from the lighthouse) wrote a book about them, that is why the lighthouse was built there in 1874.

Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet.
