The Acid Test

I haven't been to Penmon for a while and after posting yesterdays shot decided today would be as good a day as any .....some wonderful wave surges over the close reefs made for several aborted exposures while i pulled the camera away form the incoming waves ....after many close shaves and many splashes over myself and the camera I managed this shot .....
Houses of the ligthouse keepers on the rocky coast of Goury (Normandy), which are protected by surrounding walls from the storm surges....
Not only did we arrive Great Sand Dunes National Park a bit late and lost most of the golden light on the dunes, I believe we also came at the wrong time of day.
Judging by the dunes' orientation (facing east) and the trek marks left by the day activities (hiking, sandboarding, sand sledding), early morning hours would be a much better time for photography in here!
Nevertheless, I'm happy with the few images that I got, for they are much better than the ones I took from the first visit (early afternoon, Sep 2019)! 😉
I will share a funny encounter with you in my next Great Sand Dunes photo at a later time, so please make sure you follow my journey!
(Ha ha ha, did I just do a good job to promote my Stream here?!? 😂😜)
Have a fun-filled day, my Flickr-friends!
We finally made our way to Great Sand Dune National Park near the end of the Golden Hour (sigh!), the sun was about to disappear behind the sand dune (sigh-sigh!).
The water sight scared me (I can't swim); why was it flooded, it's supposed to be nothing but dry sand!?!
I knew it for a fact for I was there in Sep '2019!!!
As we got closer, we saw that it's just a few inches of water, very walkable without shoes and sock (sigh a big relief!).
Little did I know that for a few months each year, the melting of the snowfields in nearby Sangre de Cristo Mountains flowed into Medano Creek, which then flowed into the basin of the sand dunes, where it turned into a wide and shallow stream.
As the melted snow trickled down to the sand ridges, it created many underwater ridges in the sand that build up and break every 20 seconds, which then produced waves in the creek, a phenomenon known as Surge Flow.
Live and learn!

Thank you all for the clicks, comments & faves.
With so much rain we've been getting lately (8 days and still counting), the surrounding rivers are overflowing and so is Clear Lake.
Our fishing pier took a beating, several wood planks were lifted by the surging waves. The water level was so high that it almost reached the top of the pier.
The rain should be completely gone by Wednesday.
Longing for a blue sky with bright sunshine...
A massive wall of fog is surging against the cliffs of mt. Winterberg in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. In the beginning it is only slipping between the trees but then it's overflowing the entire woodlands. Soon nothing can be seen of the wide green areas in the valley.
The sun that has just risen, is bravely fighting back, trying to push back the masses.. At the moment she has no chance, but the battle is not yet decided.
Eine massive Nebelwand brandet an die Klippen des Winterberges im Elbsandsteingebirge. Erst schiebt sie sich nur zwischen die Bäume dann jedoch überflutet sie den ganzen Wald. Von den weiten grünen Flächen im Tal ist bald nichts mehr zu sehen.
Die Sonne, die gerade aufgegangen ist kämpft tapfer dagegen an und versucht die Massen wieder zurück zu drängen. Im Augenblick hat sie keine Chance doch die Schlacht ist noch nicht entschieden.

In these crazy times i'm missing going to amazing places to take photos and immerse myself in the isolation of nature.
A big swell this day and the surf coming right through the gap at Wallagoot. There is also another small beach just beyond this gap before the rolling surf in the distance. A few weeks before this I was able to walk to the inner beach but not this day! I would like to be at this place for a sunrise. The Gap Wallagoot in the Bournda National Park.

Hurricane Fiona devastated much of the Canadian Maritime provinces, including my beloved summer home of the past thirty plus years, Prince Edward Island. Lots of property damage either by wind or storm surge. Still waiting to hear about my cottage and just hoping for the best. Fortunately so far, it sounds like no one was killed or severely injured, which is the best news in all of this. Unlike people, stuff can be replaced.
Diese speziellen "Brandungswellen" werden "Vogesen" genannt. Oder, klangvoll, weil französisch, "Les Vosges" (hier aus Sicht des Südschwarzwaldes/ Schauinsland; darunter die Nebeldecke des Oberrheingrabens).

Here in Gold Beach we're on the perimeter of those storms that have been steamrolling through California.
While things are not as bad as further south in California, it is still the first time in 10 years that I have seen full-sized tree trunks carried over 500 feet (152 m) from the ocean up onto this paved road, damaging the fence around the airport and the sign. All the sand and wood in the picture is on top of a paved road.
I'm slowly catching up with comments ...
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!
I haven’t had the opportunity to process any of my holiday photos yet… so here’s an oldie taken near Camps Bay in October last year. Unfortunately I also haven't had any time to check out all your latest photos yet... but I promise to catch up on everything that I've missed during the course of the next few days.
