In the the first Picture above I was hoping you might notice the number of people on the pier tonight although I should have taken one once I walked out on the pier to be with the people of Fairhope, Alabama.
Many of them just having left the Yard Arm Restaurant that is pictured as the larger structure that sits about a quarter of the length of the pier.
I have only eaten there once and that was in the summer of 2004 just prior to Hurricane Ivan. In fact it was the day a hurricane; I'm sorry I don't remember the name in consideration of the people it affected as it intensified just prior to landfall in the Naples and Tampa, Florida area of South-West Florida.
My wife at the time Valerie and I had decided to meet their for lunch or drive there together I cant remember which due to the time that has past since and the fact our schedules were so "happily" hectic at the time building homes!
We sat out on the deck that was destroyed by hurricane Katrina and has been partially rebuilt but dont let the deck being smaller deter you the food was quite good then and from the "comments" and "demeaner" of the diners I have the good fortune of speaking with or noticing as they leave the pier the food has to be quite good.
It is a quaint restaurant as you might imagine overlooking the marina just to the immediate weat of the pier.
I plan to take a date to dinner myself as I recover financially and psychologically not to mention last falls hit on my life!
The night was just gorgeous for a Mobile Bay Area June night with a calm wind and a coolness to the air.
The second picture is of the cloud formations hiding the setting sun where I had hoped to catch the silver-lining and the hues for you.
The third I had hoped to capture the serenity of the shade in the park with the Sailboat anchored off in the distance in what should be about ten feet of water in the natural slope of the bay bottom toward the west.
Mobile Bays Average depth is most likely in the ten to twelve foot range and with its size makes for a steep short chop that has sunk many a bay boat over the years particularly in days long past when the only way across Mobile Bay was by "schooner", bay schooners"!
Let me find the picture of a beautiful sunset taken earlier from the launching ramp south of the pier and I'll do my best to get it posted for you!
God Bless, Peace, Love and Knowledge!
