Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #314: Shorelines

Living in the Pacific Northwest, we have lots of shorelines within a few minutes, or hours drive. And we have lakes and rivers, which also have shorelines, along with the oceans. The shoreline closest to me is along Silver Lake. This was early in the morning on my way to work. About 50% of the …
