Cocoa Beach Pier – Cocoa Beach, FL
For the second year in a row, I participated in a project to “Capture Brevard”, highlighting the lifestyle of the place I call home along the Central East Coast of Florida. Brevard County, also known as the “Space Coast” is the 10th largest county in Florida. Located halfway between Jacksonville and Miami, residents and visitors enjoy 72 miles of beaches, and vast inland waterway lagoons. Of course the Space Coast is known world-wide as the origin of space explorations and rocket launches.
How do you go about capturing the essence of where you live? Certainly, like most areas in the US, there is a great deal of diversity in the community. However, Brevard County, much like many other coastal areas in Florida, is all about our coastline. All who live here enjoy the nature and activities our beaches provide. Fishing, surfing, sunbathing, or just walking the beach looking for shells or sea turtles are among the many activates enjoyed by so many who live here. So, this year, my contribution to Capture Brevard highlighted the beach lifestyle our area provides. Here are the photos that, in my view, best Captures Brevard for 2017.

Fantastic captures, Chuck! Your photos always amaze and inspire me 🙂
Thanks so much Cheryl. I really appreciate your comment… but you inspire me to photograph people more often.
AMAZING! Reminds me how blessed i am to live here.
My very favorite is “In the moment” My imagination creates all kinds of tales of this human form immersed in the grandeur of this seashore sunrise.
Thank you Marcia. You have such a creative mind describing photos. I appreciate your note.
Incredible sunrise. Being there just adds to the beauty of nature at its best. You are such a great photographer.
