Ruby Reflections

[AlanLichty]

One of the interesting features to Ruby Beach along the Olympic Peninsula is just how flat the beach area is and for how far out this extends. Not usually visible until you get a super low tide event but when you do it's possible to walk out more than 1/4 mile from the usual beach areas and stand in the midst of acres of reflective sand. This is some late evening light from one such evening.

A ridiculously low tide at Ruby Beach.

C&C always welcome.

Wet sand, gives the impression of a long exposure. Nice reflections too.

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Very nice. Another place that this reminds me of is Ocean Shores in Washington.

Yep, I like times like these. What a great reflection Alan!

Be there on Mon. with Ted. I'd be happy to get that sky. Nice reflection and shot.

I am headed there on Wed. for a couple of days. Say hi to Ted for me.

Good low sunset tides this week.

Will be interesting, Moon is setting early. Should be a dark sky, maybe clouds rolling in. The tides are high at maybe about 4 ft. at sunset.

?? What tide tables are you looking at? This is what NOAA shows for Wednesday at La Push:

https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/n...ur&datum=MLLW&interval=hilo&action=dailychart

That has a low tide at 4pm at 0.41'.

 

[Rick Schump]

Saltwater tides lists tides at La Push of - low 1.2 at 4:30, which should translate to over 3 ft. by 7:20.

Hmm - I hadn't looked up the sunset time yet and forgot to factor in DST. That should still be OK.
