Southport Beach, Southport Connecticut
My wife and I spent a wonderful afternoon visiting family in Connecticut and, after a great lunch at the Brewport Brewing Company, we drove over to Southport Beach to take a very chilly walk along a rock jetty on the Long Island Sound.
It was mostly sunny today and, as you'll see, the tide was out.
Yesterday, the high temperature in Central New Jersey was in the mid-60s ℉, and just 24 hours later at Southport Beach in Connecticut the day's high was only 32 ℉.
Excerpt from the Fairfield Connecticut Parks & Recreation web page:
This marina pumps air from below in an attempt to prevent the surrounding waterway from freezing, as I believe the Long Island Sound and some of its many tributaries are somewhat brackish.

Thanks @journeyoflife for the kind words and the #photofeed tip, I'll have to check it out!
Sounds like a nice walk. What is that thing in the first picture? Shells stuck together? I have never seen anything quite like that
It was pretty cold and windy but, yes, it was a nice afternoon for a shore walk. And you're correct, its a grouping of shells that are fused together. Thanks for stopping by!!!
Cool! Looks almost like some kind of claw
I wondered what they were going to do with those boats if it keeps getting cold. Very interesting about pumping air.
The tri-state area (i.e. NJ, NY, CT) has had the worst cold spell in over a decade. Weird that yesterday we suddenly have temps in the mid 60s, go figure!!!
This is wonderful photography and nice travel experience.

Thanks for the re-steem @shavishtha!!!
what is that thing in your hand?
I looked like a bunch of shells (maybe mussels) all bonded together.
Wow very very beautiful photography and great work sir.
Great photography experience.
Thanks @cognoscere
Have a great day
Thanks @goldcoin!!!
Great Connecticut pictures. Still have boats in the water I see. Owners must have been sweating it with the cold spell.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, but look at that image with the air bubbles being pumped from under the water.
I know the airs bubbles thing. But wouldn't trust it with such server cold.
interesting time you spent there wonderful photos too you shared thanks a lot :)
Being low tide, there were countless shells and rocks to look at.
Excellent camera shoots . nice photography
