Before the Music

We Need to Build a Stage


Actually, SeaHearNow, the annual music festival in Asbury Park, comes with three stages - two built on the sand (there's something biblical about that) and one in a grassy park just next to the beach. (I looked up the sand thing: Matthew 7:24-27.)

The festival this year was on the weekend of September 13-14. On the Thursday before, I decided to go for a walk on the boardwalk. All the pictures here were taken between 6:55 p.m. and 7:54 p.m.


Above is a picture of the back of the main stage. (How many people can you count in this picture?) And below you have the front of the stage. (Again, how many people can you count in this picture?)


The light seemed perfect for a portrait of Marie's.


And parts of the beach were still open to the public.


I have no idea what this sea creature is doing here, but I like to think that he's happy playing in the sand.


And now the sun has left us, for a little while, and it's time to test some lights. (Again, how many people can you count in this picture?)
