Recently went on vacation to the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf Shores Alabama and Pensacola FL to be exact) and the weather decided to give us a show!  And yes I swam in the oil spill, turned a pair of white board shorts into a pair of rust orange board shorts!!

Wow, stunning.

A case of the right place at the right time. Great capture Truck

Love to be on that ship out there :-P. Great Pics truck

Nice shots. Sounds like you got well lubed.

i want to see a photo of said swimming trunks

It was just a tint of orange Glenno, enough to know that there was oil in the water, I'll post more shots later, they had full blown hazmat crews out there cleaning the tar balls out of the sand, we only had one day though where the oil sheen came in, the rest of the week the water was pretty clean except for a few tar balls here and there.

Good catch. The beach looks clean enough. Not sure swimming in that oil is such a great idea.

Wonderful Catch!

Beautiful sand!

I notice the water spout was playing around for the whole time the Folks on the beach assembled their tent and covered it, and lots of Folk gathered around beneath it!

I wonder how long the spout displayed from start to finish?
