Pictured here is an evening view of the Atlantic Ocean, as seen from aboard the Disney Fantasy cruise ship. Just prior to sunset, the clouds were in position to create a beautiful natural spotlight over this section of the Atlantic.

The Atlantic Ocean Road or the Atlantic Road is an 8.3-kilometer long section of County Road 64 that runs through an archipelago in Hustadvika and Averøy municipalities in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It passes by Hustadvika, an unsheltered part of the Norwegian Sea, connecting the island of Averøy with the mainland and Romsdalshalvøya peninsula. It runs between the villages of Kårvåg in Averøy and Vevang in Hustadvika. It is built on several small islands and skerries, which are connected by several causeways, viaducts and eight bridges—the most prominent being Storseisundet Bridge

Puffins are any of three species of small alcids (auks) in the bird genus Fratercula. These are pelagic seabirds that feed primarily by diving in the water. They breed in large colonies on coastal cliffs or offshore islands, nesting in crevices among rocks or in burrows in the soil. Two species, the tufted puffin and horned puffin, are found in the North Pacific Ocean, while the Atlantic puffin is found in the North Atlantic Ocean.
All puffin species have predominantly black or black and white plumage, a stocky build, and large beaks that get brightly colored during the breeding season. They shed the colorful outer parts of their bills after the breeding season, leaving a smaller and duller beak. Their short wings are adapted for swimming with a flying technique underwater. In the air, they beat their wings rapidly (up to 400 times per minute) in swift flight, often flying low over the ocean's surface.

From Wikipedia: The Atlantic ghost crab, Ocypode quadrata, is a species of ghost crab. It is a common species along the Atlantic coast of the United States, where it is the only species of ghost crab;[2] its range of distribution extends from its northernmost reach on beaches in Westport, Massachusetts, south along the coasts of the tropical Western Atlantic Ocean to the beach of Barra do Chui, in Rio Grande do Sul in southern Brazil.[3]
Moving a bunch of old vacation shots today, I found this. Taken on a boat tour to Bird Island, off the shore of Cape Breton. Puffins everywhere, Eagles and Herons in surprising numbers, plus many other sea birds. It’s a must if you get to Nova Scotia. There are two tour companies and we took both. Donelda’s is recommended.

The walls of Essaouira on the atlantic ocean are protected by lava stones and a serie of cannons. Looking it from under the wall, it is clear that taking the city from the sea, was probably inpossible.
The Atlantic Ocean Road is an 8.3-kilometer (5.2 mi) long section of County Road 64 that runs through an archipelago in Hustadvika and Averøy municipalities in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway.

It seems like they have eyes only for each other. Taken in Elliston, Newfoundland.
Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.

Only now noticed that my lens was probably not so clean....

14th March 2016 - Another trip down the docks at Seaforth Container terminal for work and I couldn't resist a couple of cheeky sunset shots...
He is mostly observed in the mountains and the Atlantic Coast. For the first time I saw him in the fields near my house, a migrant for sure...
Je pense qu'il s'agit d'un juvénile!
Avant tout, j'adore observer les oiseaux, pas seulement les photographier !
Or, lors de ma visite à Bonavista, je suis à même d'observer des oiseaux magnifiques mais aussi un comportement qui me laissa pantois.
J'observai ces oiseaux pendant plusieurs minutes sans pouvoir dire s'ils se faisaient la cour ou s'ils se querellaient !
Il n'y a pas de différence observable ( mâle \ femelle ) chez le Macareux moine.
J'ai mis la photo en grand format afin que vous puissiez observer le regard que porte chaque individu...
C'est plutôt fascinant et que de scénarios dans notre tête ! : ))
Above all, I love watching birds, not just photographing them!
However, during my visit to Bonavista, I was able to observe magnificent birds but also a behavior that left me speechless.
I watched these birds for several minutes without being able to tell if they were courting or quarreling!
There is no observable difference (male \ female) in Atlantic Puffins.
I put the photo in large format so that you can observe the look of each individual...
It's rather fascinating and there are so many scenarios in our head! : ))
