Very nice picture. I especially liked the sky in your FIRST picture better. But everybody has a different opinion, I'm sure... BTW- what you are showing there looks like a "Sea Wall" or "Shore Break" (or various other terms). A Levee defined by WikiPedia is: "levee, lev (from the feminine past participle of the French verb lever, "to raise"), floodbank or stopbank is a natural or artificial embankment or dike, usually earthen, which parallels the course of a river. The word levee seems to have come into English through its use in colonial Louisiana." You can probably check with a US Army Corps of Engineers website to get the exact term for what you are showing offshore, as they build that type of stuff a lot all around US Coastlines and especially near the entrances to harbors.
