January at the Beach (Posterized Photo)

January at the Beach (Posterized Photo), a photo by randubnick on Flickr.

Yesterday we had temperatures in the fifties, here north of Boston. Today began with warm winds and quick rains followed by sun and cooler air moving in. Even though the temperatures were dropping, it was such a beautiful day that we decided to take walk at Dane Street Beach (Beverly, MA). We were overly optimistic. By the time we got there, it was down to forty degrees, maybe less, but with a strong wind that made it feel much colder. So our walk was very short! But the view was great, so I took a few quick pictures. Tonight I edited this one in iPhoto and applied selective posterizing effect with Painter 12.
