    Rockaway Beach

    USA

    There are [5] photos and [1] story about USA

    The beach is, in some ways, the end of the earth. Of course, being on the beach you know, looking at the ocean, that somewhere far away there is the other side of that ocean. But the ocean is so large. Standing in the sand, the horizon is however far away your eyes can manage to see.

These 5 pictures were taken on Labor Day Weekend, the unofficial last days of summer. by: snacmias Views[206]
