We decided to go out around 2Am and see if we could get the milkyway as it came up over the horizon so while waiting we decided to take a photo under the Caldwell Pier in Port A to see what we would get. We have taken this pier many times but never this long after dark. At first I thought the lights on the pier would not be good but afterwards I thought the lights made the photo more interesting as it gave the pier this errie look to the waters below. We thought the image turned out pretty nice with the this sort of ghostly look to the waters and the pier with it diminishing perspective gave it cool coastal landscape. You can see the ripple of the sand under the wave along the beach as the tide came in which just added another cool layer to the image. We love to come to Port Aransas and on this trip we were visiting with our friends from Nashville who have a beach house, but we never been to beach in the middle of the night. We sat around with our friends having some wine and once they said they were going to bed then we went out to take some photos. Always have a good time here rather we take photos or not. We expected the beach to be empty at this hour, but we were surprise to find dozen of people walking in the surf and many in the waters as you could see their flash light shinning into the waters of the gulf. I don’t know what they were doing fishing, looking for shells whatever by three most were gone. Another great night in Port A Texas.

We capture this image of the Caldwell Pier after Dark in Port A Texas with a unique look at night. We have this texas coastal image that we took during the day and at sun rise so we thought why not try it after dark. So around 2pm we went out to see what we could photograph and the pier had lights so we decided to try a shot here. You can see where the lights of the pier cast this ghostly look over the waters below. We had just enough light to see the surf flow over the ripple of sand on the beach as high tide came in with a long exposure, which gave a nice effect we thought. Hope you like our Texas pier beach scene at night.
