This is an old school curd breaker used in the production of cheese. I believe It was used to cut the curd into smaller pieces which then allowed the liquid whey to be removed.
Not the shot I wanted this weekend and I'm not 100% sure on this one! Lovely clean waves breaking over the reefs between Challaborough and Bigbury but the only place to photograph them safely was from the cliff tops. I was hoping to shoot from one of the beaches but the waves were only 4-6ft whereas this one was prob 10-14ft.
On another of my California coast drives, I stopped at my favorite place on the coast for a smoke break and to capture a few photons. Caught this cool shot of a wave at Pescadero State Beach, between Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz.
Southern Iceland.
Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments :-))
Have a great day!

Sorry to keep hammering you with beach shots but it's my only source of inspiration these days. Aside from Camellias and Daffodils, there's not a pixel of color on the farm. This is a shot taken just before sunset over the sound (Albemarle Sound) with the light picking up on the surf in the Atlantic. The view here is to the North toward Duck on the Outer Banks. Its really better in the light box. Have a great weekend everybody and thanks for the look.

With the snow and ice on the Leeds Liverpool canal the swans became ice breakers. Not in this photograph are the clever ducks who were soon to follow along in their ice broken tracks.

The essence of Apostle Islands National Lakeshore in the winter is its different ice/snow formations EVERY YEAR. So as photographers, we would never be tired of visiting there, and would never worry about getting the exactly same images in each visit. Credit to our mother nature!
In this winter, there are three major types of ice formations along the lake shore. Hike from south west to north east, you first see large areas of exposed frozen lake. If the wind cooperates so that most snow on the surface is cleared, you can see those cute ice bubbles and cracks. After about an mile hike, you see ice caves and snow covered lake where most visitors stop. But if you continues hiking 2-3 miles towards to north, the amazing "Ice Kingdom" shown by this photo is there, and I bet few visitors or photographers actually reach that far.
Walking across these ice sheets is already a very challenging task, but to capture the close look of these giant and crystal clear ice, I had to stand and set my tripod on one of the many unstable sheets. The thick low clouds partially blocked the sunlight and created Tyndall Effect during that sunset, and the two brave hikers deserved to get the glorious light and the name "Ice Breakers" :)
How were these ice sheets formed? Thanks and credit to my friend Wan Shi's knowledgeable explanation, "Before the ice caves were opened to public this winter, the lake had been frozen over near the ice caves twice, and then was blown apart twice by strong wind. The broken ice sheets, as large as window glass panels, were pushed by wind and waves to the foot of cliffs, and were later anchored by newly formed stable ice."
I love this image which freezes the wave as it crashes into one of the breakers at the Point Betsie Lighthouse on Lake Michigan near Frankfort, Michigan. ***This is my first photo featured in Explore.***
Another shot from my stormy day series of the last couple days. I caught this while some sunshine was breaking through a crack in the clouds at a low angle, shining side-long onto the waves giving them the green translucent color. Dark silhouettes of the Cascade mountain range are in the background.
Purgatory for the old St. Nicholas Coal Breaker. There were local and national news stories in early 2015 about the start of demolition of this massive piece of industrial history, and how it was a metaphor for the coal industry, and how the old-timers were wistful. Then work slowed to a crawl or stopped. It had looked like this for more than a year when I stopped by on my way south.
New Brighton
A "local" spot i've taken photos of many times. Always tricky to get the tide height correct.
Notes for future visits:
This was a 9m high tide peaking at 10:45am. i arrived at 9am but probably should have been 30-45min earlier.
Long exposure of "ice breakers" near Marken. I'm starting to love this kind of minimalist photography.
Some background information:
After periods of severe frost the coast of Marken is sometimes threatened by drifting ice. Ice floes sometimes more than one meter thick and ten meters wide along the dike and the country would move here the locality Rozewerf (whose houses are built mostly of wood) to completely destroy.
For protection are twelve metal beams at an angle of about 30 degrees in the water placed. An ice floe who dread being pushed so lifted from the water under its own weight and break into small pieces.
