Tybee Island Pier Sunrise
Seascape Art
Resplendent Red Dot is a Tybee Island Pier HDR shot as the sun is coming up perfectly in the middle/center of the pier's pilings. This is how my camera interpreted this event. The Atlantic Ocean's horizon was glowing red itself. What are the chances of this happening on this very morning that I am shooting from under the pier? I had asked the Lord for beautiful, partly cloudy skies and trusted Him to provide for me. He provided something different and more than what I had asked for! His ways are higher than my ways... PTL
There is nothing quite like a sunrise at the beach. A new day is dawning and our wonder of it all almost takes our breath away as the suns' warmth begins its course across the sky.
Today is a new day and the beginning of the rest of your life. I pray you find God out there in the highways and byways of life, better yet, that He finds You....
Tybee Island is an island off the coast of the U.S. state of Georgia; it is one of the Sea Islands and one of the Golden Isles of Georgia. The city of Savannah, Georgia and several other islands, are nearby. Its beaches are frequented by vacationers. Bike trails, walks along the beaches and sandbars are a few of the many things vacationers can do. The island is also full of wildlife, consisting of many different mammals, reptiles, and birds living and breeding in the island's inland marshes. Shrimp boats go fishing from here and dolphin tours are available....
In the late 19th century, at the height of the Industrial Revolution, residents in large, polluted cities frequently sought out remote beaches for summertime getaways. Clear, saltwater breezes were believed to be remedies for various ailments, including asthma and certain allergies. Steamships began carrying patients and tourists to Tybee Island just after the Civil War. In 1887, the Central of Georgia Railroad completed a line to Tybee Island, opening the island to a wave of summer tourists. The railroad built the Tybrisa Pavilion in 1891, and by the end of the decade, several hundred summer cottages dotted the island.
In the 1920s, U.S. Route 80 was completed, connecting Tybee Island via road with the mainland. The Tybrisa Pavilion became a popular stop for Big Band tours, and development pushed toward the island's southern tip. By 1940, the island had four hotels, including the Desoto Hotel and Hotel Tybee, and numerous smaller lodges. The Tybrisa Pavilion burned in 1967, and was replaced by the Tybee Pier and Pavilion in 1996.
Cecil B. Day opened the first Days Inn on Tybee Island in 1970.
