From The 14th Floor

in GEMS3 years ago

I took all of the following photos from the 14th floor while staying at the Sea Watch Condominiums located at 11500 Coastal Hwy in Ocean City, Maryland. This was from a visit in June of this year.

My husband and I were there for five days. There was a varying degree of haze over the ocean almost every day but it was still nice to see the ocean water and hear the waves.

We even got to see some dolphins a couple of mornings. They were pretty far away in the water but it was still awesome to see them.

The next two photos show the bay side of the water across the street.

I loved seeing the different boats going by including the OC Rocket pictured in the second photo below. The OC Rocket speed boat is owned by the M.R. DUCKS Company. They have different boats that they offer tours on. I've never been on one or not yet anyway. I saw them slow up once when the dolphins were out so the passengers could get an, up close, look at them. The OC Rocket offers a one hour tour starting at $22.00 USD for adults. Definitely something I might consider taking some time when I'm there and feeling up to it.

There was a big storm on one day and the sky became menacing looking with huge dark clouds rolling in.

When storms come in the lifeguards clear the people out of the water and patrol the beach.

The following morning the ocean waves were larger and choppy. I saw several people walking along the beach and standing in front the waves admiring the view.

This was the gentleman that I spotted out there first though. He stood in this spot for, at least, a half hour. I think I know how he was feeling standing there admiring nature and the big waves coming in because even though he didn't know it I was there with him, in a way, as I watched and admired the same view from the 14th floor of the condo. 💖

Thanks so much @kohsamui99!! I have to agree and it was so nice to sit out on the balcony and take it all in. 💖

Those are the best times to take in glad you enjoyed it @deerjay 😉

What a great view you had to take photos of the ocean and the sky Dee.💕 Love seeing the dolphins and the OC Rocket full of people.

I can see why you and that gentleman stood watching the waves ~ Awesome power of nature.

Thanks so much Jo!! The dolphins were a nice surprise even if they were far away. Yep, nature is a beautiful thing! 😊💕

it was still nice to see the ocean water and hear the waves.

This is something I have not seen and have not heard so far in my life. I was born and live in Hungary. There is no sea, nor ocean around Hungary, and I have not visited any foreign country so far. I cannot even afford it. Nowadays I live under the minimum wage. Sometimes I have to choose between paying rent/bills and buying food.

Hi @xplosive! There is a lot of water around Maryland and our state is known for seafood as well as other things. We are lucky that my husbands best friend has a place there otherwise we couldn't afford it other than a single day trip. The only country that I've been to outside the USA is Canada briefly. Paying rent/mortgage, bills and buying food should always be what comes first for anyone. The first time I went to Ocean City I was in my twenties. I spent most of my time working to do the important stuff like having a roof over my head and such. Never got the opportunity to go to college or university but did work long hours to make up for less in wages. I don't know if you have it there but here there are some churches that will help with food and the state offers food vouchers if ones income is below a certain amount. It is upsetting to know that people sometimes have to make such choices. I do wish things will get better for you soon.
