Beautiful Zeeland part 1: Milky - The first day if our trip with Dave Zuuring and Julien Beyrath was absolutely gorgeous. The landscape was completely covered with this white blueish mist. We ended the day at Westenschouwen beach with Ellen van den Doel photographing these little sea breakers. By exposing to the right and using a long exposure you get this lovely glow and minimalistic details. I wish we had more of these days.
Beautiful Zeeland part 2: Milky Sea breakers - Same location, different poles, different composition and a little bit of texture of the sandy beach. It was absolutely stunning.
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.***
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.
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.
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.

Special thanks to JNickrand for a cool morning shoot. Allegedly, the sun was out there somewhere, but we'll be back, ready to capture it one of these mornings.

A morning walk at Lecount Hollow Beach. The clouds still had hints of orange and pink, but I had missed the sunrise. In this image, I've added a very light purplish screen to the clouds.

Hurricane Erin was barely noticeable here on the Atlantic coast. A few swells broke over outer reefs but no waves above normal.

Breaker Beachside
Full on sunshine, is usually a deal breaker. So I stuck a ND filter on the lens, at the time didnt own one. So I perservered, the light on the water is beautiful.

Welcome back Monday.
It's our annual chaning of the seasons day in Chicago. Yesterday morning it was sunny and in the upper 60'sF. This morning I left my place and it was cloudy and in the upper 20'sF. I think that is probably it for us for the next six months.
I hope that everyone has the day that they have, but that today is the start of a great week!
I'd like to thank the lovely Xandra for this collab, once she sets up a flicker i'll link it here. Was a pleasure working with her. More to come.
