It's becoming very Octoberish on the western shore of Lake Michigan. Gray skies occasional fog, winds, and waves are all part of the total picture. B&w shots of the lake become temporarily more appropriate.
The Rozewerf is a little group of wooden houses situated just besides the dike of the island Marken. The island is situated in the former sea IJsselmeer, now called Markermeer. In strong winters the water of the IJsselmeer was frozen. In order to protect the Rozewerf against crossing ice at the end of the winter, these ice breakers were built (in the year 1872).
Marken, 2018.
Again, I would like to thank everyone for your support, views, faves and comments!
in explore #362. An early morning shot near Annalong, County Down. Full fishing waders on at 7am in the morning. Certainly wakes you up. Lots of splashes here so hard to keep the lens clean of sea water shooting into the sun. Even tripod hard to keep still when the waves roll in.
Due to the fact that the wind comes almost from West, the waves become the same direction, from W to E, and wash the sand away.
To stop/make less this washout effect, to break the stronght of the waves - that's the reason of this pillars. In the northern part of Zeeland there are beaches , many km long, and there are this pillars, always two lines together, repeating so about 500m. Depending from tide/low tide you can see 2 m or nothing from them.
A breaking wave captured early morning and at 300 mm as it shoals over the coast of Kalbarri, Western Australia. I took about 40 frames altogether as I tracked the breakers through the viewfinder while rotating my tripod and this was the pick of the bunch. Thanks for viewing.

Month of March, officially when spring begins, days getting longer and flowers start to bloom. Ah.. where have you been hiding Mr. Sun?
But who can resist frost in the morning, I just can't sleep with the idea in my head. Feet are dying to go, fingers very eager to press the shutter, just need to wait for the right time and condition.
I normally leave most of my stuff in the boot for when I just want to quickly drive around for some quick shoots, but alas! I did not double check if all my things are there, and I left one of the most important thing especially when going to the coast, my wellies!
My poor walking boots and feet were soaked in the freezing water and made it numb for awhile, wish there's a traveling Oaken nearby or just maybe next time check my things first before going :)
A game I bought recently 'Code Breaker'; you have to work out the correct colour and order of the four hidden pegs in just ten guesses.
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.
Time’s Person of the Year was the silence breakers. This is easily the best news of 2017 and cheers to every single woman who stood up in unison to shout ‘Me Too’. It was brilliant and absolutely the right choice. Of all the troubling and disturbing acts and issues that are confronting the world today, it is nice to have one victory.
Assault and discrimination against women have been a systemic cultural problem since forever. It has always been an issue. It has remained an issue for so long because there were never any consequences. Shame the victim or stack the process against them or simply let the assaulters go free. Again and again and again and the problem continues. Now, however, there are consequences. It’s embarrassing that is what it takes, but if a man fears going to jail or losing his job – he will not commit the act. It is really that simple.
It is a lesson that I hope we understand and start to apply to other issues as well. There are so many issues to address. These consequences need to continue though. This period needs to keep going until the time arrives that when someone assaults another person – everybody immediately understands that the person is going to face consequences. Then we can have a dialogue on how to behave. Cheers to the silence breakers – well done!
Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend!
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.

As the overcast sky gave way to blue, the thickness of clouds hung on the horizon. The sea was windswept and dark with dramatic high-tide breakers right on the beach.
