The photo was taken by Jeb Brigman of Conway in January 2008. The Garden City Pier is located eight miles south of Myrtle Beach.

Jeb writes: “It was a wonderful morning on the beach with the cool breeze and the playful gulls. Most of the day was covered with clouds but they broke for just a few seconds and I was able to get this shot. The pier itself is quite impressive. It has been voted best fishing pier in 2004, 2006, and 2007. With a rain shelter at the end and no charge to enjoy the pier it’s always a delight to head out there.”
