High waves and rough sea as hurricane Matthew heads to Haiti, this photo is taken 4 days after it passed the island of Aruba
Number five from the Craster Series. I'd like to say it was a bit warmer at this point, with the sunlight catching the rocks and bouncing of the waves as they broke.......but it really wasn't!
The gentle glow of sunset - the crashing surf from an approaching storm.

Located along the beautiful Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, 2nd Avenue Pier was built in 1936 and destroyed by hurricanes and rebuilt twice over its lifetime. Close to all of the fun summertime festivals that take place in downtown Myrtle Beach, 2nd Avenue Pier’s location is great, but many argue the fishing is even better! Anglers reel in mullet, trout, flounder, mackerel, and even barracuda, and the views down the shoreline and boardwalk can’t be beaten.
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

Although the sun was still out it was below freezing and there were some snow clouds forming, which was our cue to leave. Definitely a return visit required.

Our fate was sealed even before the moonlight pierced the clouds, exposing the dark, jagged rocks ahead.
The word porth in the Cornish language means port and elvan is the Celtic Saint who came to these shores in the 5th century along with many others to preach the Christian faith. St Elvan was about one and a half miles from Porthleven on the road to Sithney and there is still an area to the north of Porthlevan called St Elvan.
As a village, Porthleven was not important in the Middle Ages. There was no harbour there and the River Cober was navigable as far as Helston. Porthleven was bisected by the parish boundaries of Breage and Sithney, and the modern parish - formed in 1846 - took land from both.
It is rare to find a Cornish harbour which faces southwest, directly into the prevailing winds, and Porthleven's development as a port was always hampered by its orientation. Doubtless, Porthleven would have remained a small fishing inlet to this day had there not been an overriding need, in the early nineteenth century, for a harbour of refuge along this forbidding lee shore to which ships could run in times of distress.
The workforce used in the construction of the harbour included many prisoners from the Napoleonic wars. The main work was completed in 1825 and a large drifter fleet was soon engaged in the mackerel and pilchard fisheries. It was opened in August of the same year with a feast of roast beef and plum pudding for the whole village.
Major improvements were carried out in the 1850s, after the port was taken over by Harvey & Co. of Hayle, and the handsome, massively-built harbour that we see today dates from this time. Porthleven port was expanded in the last century to export tin ore. The long curved harbour wall is in three sections, and the inner harbour was designed to be sealed off in a gale.
The harbour imported coal, limestone and timber, and exported tin, copper and china clay. The Porthleven boatbuilding industry became a major employer at this time building clippers, schooners and yachts. Two Porthleven built trawlers still work from Brixham but the last boat was launched in the late 1970's.

This is a view from Gosport across the Solent to Ryde on The Isle Of Wight. No ferries or hovercraft running this day. The car ferry came out and went half way across then turned back. The wind was so strong I had trouble standing to take photos. The wind speed must have been seventy miles an hour plus and ten miles away at the Needles on the Eastern end of The Isle of White was recorded at one hundred and twenty two miles an hour.
Taken this lunch time as a major storm came down the channel with winds of over one hundred miles an hour. I like the pattern this crashing wave has formed. The wind speed at the Needles which is about eight miles from us was recorded at one hundred and twenty one miles an hour. The highest ever recorded in England.

Abstract aerial view...ocean meets the beach in crimsons and scarlet with dramatic turquoise crashing waves
On our last day of our short half-term holiday we drove down to Start Point at the southern edge of Devon. We've been there once before spending a day at the fantastic Mattiscombe beach. After a really miserable start into our holiday we were blessed with some amazing sunshine and the cove presented itself in all it's glory. I think this must be one of my favourite beaches, the rock formations and turquoise water make it look absolutely stunning!
For those interested in seeing more of the beach and that coastline check out the video I made: youtu.be/R92-vWLGA1c
Whenever I'm in New England I always to try to shoot some crashing waves. Every shot is unique and fun. Even when you get hit with a surprise wave.

These pink flowers brightened the view on the 804 Coastal Trail at Yachats, Oregon. They are named sea thrift, or sea pink or sea cushion.
Aberystwyth is a small sea-side resort in the county of Ceredigion on the west coast of Wales.
Although a thriving sea-side town in the summer, the historic town of Aberystwyth is better known as a university town and the centre of learning for Wales, as it is also home to the National Library of Wales and boasts the largest Arts Centre in Wales.
Here's a single-image croporama from Friday's dramatic sunset at Beta Beach.
I was really hoping to catch some nice wave-spray just as the sun was setting... I was getting three or four big(gish) waves crashing against the rocks every four or five minutes... this was one of the biggest waves of them all... I guess I got lucky with this one.

Are you in for a tip? This winter is slowly coming to an end, at least we hope so :) The word is out that there is still few snow days left ahead of us so I thought that one more snow shooting tip might come useful. THE TIP: Since almost all cameras will underexpose your image while shooting snow it is safe to manually overexpose your image in most occasions. To be on a safer side I always bracket my exposures, in one step increments, in those situations. What do you think?
It can be calm or still, and rough or rigid, but in the end, it’s always beautiful.
Looking back toward Sydney harbor.........
The three Crowns at Botallack when I didn't fancy my chances walking over the ridge ;))
Copper and tin were the main metals mined in Botallack. The tin was mainly found in granite underground and the copper in killas rock under the seabed. The underground workings at the Crowns were a mile long, with one-third of the shafts and tunnels being under the seabed.
Tuesday I had to write to the helpline on Flickr because I simply could neither fave nor comment on many shots. I had a reply from customer support which I have copied below just in case anyone else has had problems..
“Apologies for the trouble, the error you're seeing isn't a block but some temporary issues we were having with the site at the same time. We've rolled out a fix a bit ago to help with the errors, and we're keeping any new details we have on our status page here:”
I was repeatedly getting bad gateway 505 not even bad panda so thought I was blocked for some unknown reason but it has held me up which I could do without…..
Kynance Cove is a stunning, tidal beach on Cornwall's Lizard Peninsula, famous for its white sands, turquoise waters, and dramatic serpentine rock formations and caves. A National Trust-managed gem, it's ideal for coastal walks and exploring rock pools at low tide but requires careful attention to the tide times to avoid being cut off, as it's a popular spot with no lifeguards.
