The horizon- Harvey Cedars

I have a friend who used to work on Wall Street.  His name is Steve.  Standing on the beach looking up towards Barnegat Light or just out to the open sea Steve would say,  "you know what I miss?  The horizon.  We don't get a horizon in Manhattan."

There is something special in seeing the long arc where the sea meets the sky.  At night I like to go to the beach with binoculars.   The range buoy off of the inlet looks like you could reach out and touch it.   Sometimes the full moon rises out of the sea and it looks extra big and spectacular: a blaze of reflecting moonlight shimmering in an unquiet sea.

There is an audio counterpoint to the horizon.  On still foggy nights you can hear the foghorn balefully droning its single note.  Even though it is about 5 miles away it sounds like it is much closer on nights like this.    Like the horizon, this phenomenon has a unique way of giving one perspective and a sense of place that is special to a seaside town like Harvey Cedars.
