Growing up in Rhode Island, Rocky Point meant chowder, clam-cakes, and a Rhode Island sized - meaning "tiny" - amusement park. Today, the amusement park is gone and the shore dinner hall that once served the chowder and clam-cakes is in ruins. Running along the main road just outside the old park is a paved walking trail that skirts the ocean for much of the route. Just around one of the turns is this hidden gem of a beach. There's no surf in this sheltered inlet, but it remains a quiet family-oriented spot that is ideal for a summer picnic. In the cool autumn breeze in mid-November, though, the bench and the beach remain empty.
Post processing started with a photo pop filter in Topaz Adjust. I then adjusted the adaptive exposure, adaptive saturation, contrast, and protect highlights sliders. In PSE I added a levels adjustment and a sepia photo filter.
