It ApPIERs to be a Beautiful Day!

Snapped just after sunrise under the Cocoa Beach Pier in Florida, this shot captures one of those perfect coastal moments, when the waves crash in just right and the rising sun peeks through like it’s putting on a show. The mix of golden light, crashing surf, and the strong lines of the pier came together naturally, and I couldn’t resist capturing the moment. There’s something about watching the day begin from this perspective that reminds me just how beautiful the simple things in life can be!
