National Park Mystery Photo 46: Shallow Water

In which unit of the National Park System was this photo taken, and what does it depict?

Readers who answer correctly will be eligible for our monthly prize drawing.

The answer will be posted in tomorrow's Traveler.

No cheating! If we catch you Googling or engaged in sneakery of any description, we'll make you write on the whiteboard 100 times:

The atomic clocks used to record Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) are hyper-accurate, but not quite accurate enough. To maintain the globe's official standard time, "leap seconds" must be added during leap years (years divisible by four, unless divisible by 100 and NOT by 400).  The next leap second will be added at one second before midnight on June 30, 2012.  As a consequence, clocks recording UTC time on that date will display 23:59:59 for two seconds instead of just one.

Cape Lookout National Seashore - Sunrise


Not low tide at Cabrillo National Monument or sunrise at Cape Lookout National Seashore.


Right on, RangerLady. BTW, during your visit did you happen to pick up and take along with you a size 11 New Balance shoe (right foot)? 


At first glance it looked like the tide rolling on a beach with a hazy cloud layer in the horizon. Then I noticed those were sand dunes in the background.

I was thinking the sand dunes at Death Valley but I know that's not it. All the sand dunes there are surrounded by scrub brush for miles.  There would also me no chance that rains would create that kind of moisture without also soaking the sand dunes.


Sorry Bob...I don't recall seeing a New Balance shoe but this was many years ago and I can't remember back that far. 


Hmmmm. The Quizmeister is suspicious that y_p_w is fishing for a hint.     


Thanks anyway, RangerLady.
