My happy place is to be walking on the beach, so my second entry and is at the closest beach to me, Gulf beach in Milford CT.

I especially like it when the beach is quiet, a little bit earlier in the day this beach was crowded with people, but by Sunset and especially after Sunset it got very quiet with just a few remaining.

Mother nature was in fine form this evening and put on a beautiful display for us all

Some have asked how you can add watermarks onto a photo for this contest so let me give a short guide on how to do it

Lightroom

If you have lightroom then these steps will help to add Watermarks

You can get to it either through the export dialogue box or


In any module, choose Edit > Edit Watermarks (Windows) or Lightroom Classic CC > Edit Watermarks (Mac OS).


In the Watermark Editor dialog box, select a Watermark Style: Text or Graphic.


Do either of the following:
(Text watermark) Type the text under the preview area and specify Text Options: font, style, alignment, color, and drop shadow. OpenType fonts are not supported.
(Graphic watermark) Click Choose in the Image Options pane and then navigate to and choose the PNG or JPEG that you want to use.


Specify Watermark Effects:
Opacity - Adjust the level of transparency of the watermark.
Size
Proportional scales the watermark larger or smaller. Fit sizes the watermark across the width of the photo. Fill sizes the watermark to fill the height and width of the photo.
Inset
Repositions the watermark horizontally or vertically in the photo.
Anchor
Anchor the watermark to one of nine anchor points in the photo, and rotate the watermark left or right.

**Other Options for Windows
