Thanks and yes good after about 3PM thru sunset, although I usually don't get there until 4 or 5pm. We'll see how it fares when the time changes for winter.

Thanks for the info! Obviously an excellent afternoon location - your photos are superb.

Fort Monroe is open to the public as of last year (2011), so no id check or anything like that. From the Generals' houses that face the water, continue down that road and pass the concrete bunker on your right.

Thanks for your quick reply - where is that in relation to the old fort and the generals' houses that face the water? Thanks. I don't get over there very often but usually photo from the CBBT. Kind of a hassle to get into Fort Monroe.

Sure. I am photographing from Fort Monroe in Hampton, VA, at Outlook Beach near a closed fishing pier. Specifically, 37deg 00'04.79"N 76deg 18'16.00"W.

Nice. Can you tell me where specifically you are photographing from? Thanks.

Thanks CaptDag. I am new to ship spotting, just started regularly doing it about a month ago. My real passion is for aircraft - http://www.jetphotos.net/showphotos.php?userid=19357
