We’ll be traveling down to Hertfordshire tomorrow to see my daughter et al and to be honest I started to get a little anxious about the drive. I’ve never been a keen driver for long distances, but as needs must over the years I’ve had to drive all over. For work I was up to the midlands all the time and now all my family live away so staying in touch involves lots of traveling. Prior to the pandemic I was regularly doing 700 miles round trips visiting the grandchildren, but now after 14 months of relative no driving these epic distances are a little daunting. It’s a confidence thing and I’m sure once well into the journey I’ll be ok, hopefully keeping the toilet stops down to one and I can persevere the leg aches that I will sure to get. So take my mind of it here is a #waveWednesday taken back in April, called Shape shifter. It’s a rare wave photo in that it’s not taken with my Canon 7dmkii and 100-400 combo sitting on a tripod. I decided to go light and local on the afternoon of this storm, carrying my fujifilm XH1 and 70-300mm lens plus 1.4x, all taken handheld. It was an experiment, the results were OK, but it won’t replace my DSLR for these sessions in a hurry.

Welcome to the 'Night Shift'. At 'The Rocks', Sydney.
This image is from my night-time photographic trek around Sydney.
The photograph was taken at approximately 11.10pm.
See the clock tower in the photograph.

Pic was taken on a really windy day at the beach near The Entrance north of Sydney. The wind was blowing the beach sand. Lighting was tricky to catch this, as well as the wind direction that emphasised the sand being shifted. My legs were being sand blasted 😊 DSC_3418 ac
Beautiful scenery awaits as you leave Anchorage on the Seward Hwy and head toward the Kenai Peninsula. The Turnagain Arm is a body of water that has the unusual phenomenon of bore tides. The sandbars dotted against the beautiful blue of the water make a striking effect. Add the mountain backdrop and you've got a winner!
Imagine putting in a solid 12 hour shift in this tiny lighthouse!! Back breaking!
Actually just someone out enjoying an evening stroll!

"Expedients are for an hour, but principles are for the ages. Just because the rains descend and winds blow, we cannot afford to build on shifting sands." ~ Henry Ward Beecher
Please enjoy the shoreline sands in Large. Thank you so much for your visit!
Had to readjust my angle on these rocks there that morning to get a nice view of the ever changing lighting in the sky. I centered this up on the rocks, and it aligned well with the sky 2/3 color making a nice imbalance that I think was needed to offset the centering of the jetty.
The resulting lighting on the beach and water was dreamy too. Such a great time of day ;)

Garrapata Beach, Big Sur, California
The sand on Garrapata Beach is continually shifting with the storms and currents. These were some of the rocks exposed at the beginning of 2020. By the time the first shelter in place had lifted in that pandemic year and I could visit the beach, these rocks were all buried in sand again except for the very top of the large foreground rock.
The setting sun lights up shrub roots that are being exposed as a sand dune erodes in Bournda National Park. Wallagoot Lake is in the distance.
Usually only active at dusk and night, the beaver was searching for a way out of the pond and into the stream in broad daylight. A small lock blocked its path, so it eventually crawled over the lock along the bank and continued its journey.
