Hi everyone and welcome to my 2011 Independence Day Feast of Summer Photos. A whopping 40 photos await, with many featuring our beloved Jersey Shore. I hope you enjoy.

This here is some sort of lake community where most if not all of the surrounding homes have private sandy beaches. Location is near Cross Keys, due southeast of Camden:


Like I said, private sandy beaches:


I call this shopping area near Cross Keys "Asphalt City"...I'm sure you can see why:

Yes, it was another incredible journey throughout the Garden State, with a slight detour into Pennsylvania. I hope you have enjoyed these photos as much as I enjoyed shooting them. Stay tuned for more Flight Highlights !!!
