Mesquite dune field, central Death Valley. The morning sands were at first cool but began to burn after a few hours of wandering
I'll be out of touch with the internet for the next few days. Thanks very much for pushing my last shot into front page Explore!
Always so impressed how they manage to not get caught up in the waves but sometimes come close and I panic and then phew up they come again!!
I've been looking over some old photos of Iceland, in preparation for my upcoming trip. One of my favourite places is Jökulsárlón beach along the south coast. Most of my photos are of the waves crashing over the icebergs and receding back into the sea, but last year I spent some time just concentrating on the ocean itself, which is quite powerful along that stretch. Hoping to do some more on this trip, hopefully with stormy skies.

Really didn’t get the results I was hoping for that evening - I was hoping to see sunset piercing the waves, but it didn’t. And the air was so full of water vapor from big waves breaking up that most shots just looked hazy and muddled. Ah well.
I have not taken many shots over the last few weeks and as Spring is casting her soft veil over Bondi I have been doing a spring clean of the 'archives' - so interesting for me to go back to my early photos from when I started late last year. I had no idea of when I got my first camera what I was going to take shots of , all I knew is that I wanted to start. I called myself Rosiebondi as it seemed simple when I signed up to flickr and I had no idea that I would fall head over heels in love in a whole new way with the area that I live in and the beaches and even more so the ocean which I have always loved being close to and being in.
This shot was taken on one of the first days that I brought my camera to the beach and took shot after shot and when I got home and uploaded the shots I suddenly really understood the photographic term 'capture' . When I look at this particular shot , there is a point right where the wave is curling that I get lost in and where time stands still and where, to me, the very soul of the ocean expresses itself. Since that day I have been captured by photography and specifically taking shots of the ocean, the light and the beach - I am a very willing and happy slave :).
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying. (John Masfield)
The Fire Wave rock formation in Valley of Fire, Nevada State Park. I've been there a few times now, and each time I have come away with a good shot. Really beautiful place to visit, and only an hour or so outside of Vegas. This formation known as the Fire Wave is probably the most famous thing to see in the park, and I wanted to photograph it the first time I came here. But while exploring the park, I found a lot of other things that interested me and I think are even better compositions than this wave. Hopefully I will be posting them soon. Enjoy on black background.
There is a close affinity between sky and sea with clouds borne on waves of air revealed by the shapes of the clouds.
