On our 1st morning in Cullen we went down to the harbour .There was a quiet a swell on the sea and some lovely crashing waves hitting the breakwater.....it set the tone for the rest of our stay there.......wonderful place and very nice weather........Cullen,Banffshire,Moray,North East Scotland
Yessssss, das war wohl so in etwa mein Gedanke als ich dieses Licht gesehen habe!!🌞 Was für ein schöner Moment! Ich habe das Bild geschossen, kurz kontrolliert ob alles passt, einen Moment die Landschaft genossen und dann nichts wie weg! Es würde plötzlich rasend schnell dunkel und ich hatte noch 30min. Weg durch den Wald. Die Taschenlampe, die eigentlich immer dabei ist, war irgendwo und ich hatte ziemlich Glück dass ich den Weg noch gefunden habe..!😬👍

Splash it All Over: The final image (for the time being 😊) from my afternoon at the Cot Valley.
An afternoon of solitude where I find myself sitting on a granite boulder just gazing out towards Brison rocks, smelling the salt air, feeling the wind and listening to the waves crashing against the boulders. Each crashing sound as unique as the sea spray erupting into the air forming patterns never to be seen again.
Wow what a life and thank you photography🙏👍
Life is like the ocean.
It can be calm or still,
and rough or rigid,
but in the end,
it is always beautiful.

New Years day on the cliff tops at the Butt of Lewis. watching the waves crashing in from the Atlantic
.... the water rushing to the wellhead,
filling the pitcher until it spills . . .
Well, we were hit hard by Storm Ciara as it swept across both the sea and land! I did go for a walk to see how bad it was down at the beach and, oh my, it was bad!!

I've been to Jökulsárlón beach to watch the waves crash over the icebergs on numerous occasions. I hope this shows why I never tire of the place :)
The green pastures and the eucalyptus trees in the foreground and the Rocky Creek Bridge (opened in 1932) in the background, frame the rugged Big Sur coast. I took this using my tripod standing on the very edge of Pacific Coast Highway 1. I preferred this view over that from the pull-off area. The crashing wave is pretty much covering a natural sea arch in the rock. This scene reminds me of Cole Weston's well known black-and-white image of the Big Sur coast. Thanks for viewing and reading.
Sometimes we just have to find a photographic composition and wait and hope for all of the elements to come together. It doesn't happen very often, but when it does.........it can me magical. During this particular evening on the coast of Oregon, I had no idea what kind of sunset we might have or if we would even have a colorful one. The waves in the ocean move in sets and are very unpredictable. For the most part on this evening, the seas were nor very impressive, but when the high rollers came in, the fun began. I was able to capture this breaking wave and moving water right as the sunset was at its peak. It was just pure fun!!!! October 23 2019.

High winds and wild waves made a dramatic scene as they crashed against the North Pier.
I included the branches from a nearby tree to frame this dramatic scene.
Enjoy.
Although, it might look lovely with that sunshine, believe me it was very windy and really quite cold ~ I didn't hang about here for too long, this afternoon!!

Vivid autumn colors frame Chapel Beach at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore along the coast of Lake Superior near Munising Michigan
This view looks west along a famous part of Australia's southern coastline. It was taken in the Port Campbell National Park and looks at some of the Twelve Apostles.
A stack or sea stack is a geological landform consisting of a steep and often vertical column or columns of rock in the sea near a coast, formed by wave erosion. Stacks typically form in horizontally-bedded sedimentary or volcanic rocks, particularly on limestone cliffs. Stacks are formed over time by wind and water, processes of coastal geomorphology.
They are formed when part of a headland is eroded by hydraulic action, which is the force of the sea or water crashing against the rock. The force of the water weakens cracks in the headland, causing them to later collapse, forming free-standing stacks and even a small island. Without the constant presence of water, stacks also form when a natural arch collapses under gravity, due to sub-aerial processes like wind erosion. Erosion causes the arch to collapse, leaving the pillar of hard rock standing away from the coast - the stack. Eventually, erosion will cause the stack to collapse, leaving a stump. Stacks can provide important nesting locations for seabirds, and many are popular for rock climbing.
The Twelve Apostles are a collection of limestone stacks by the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. Their proximity to one another has made the site a popular tourist attraction.
Yours truly shooting at Devil's Churn on the Oregon coast on a cold fall day. Photo taken by my wife. I could have stayed at this place all day watching and listening to the waves whoosh and crash and thump against the rocks of this narrow inlet. Churning indeed!

Saxe Point, Esquimalt, BC
When the king tide met the winter storm, it became a spectacle that was watched by many from the warmth of their cars, and by a few of us wild souls who stood in the wind to capture the ocean’s fury. The light and weather changed minute by minute, was incredible to witness.

📍 Los Hervideros, Lanzarote
Wish you were here?... Stood where the person is? (please forgive the long description. It's meant as a diary for me as much as info for you :) )
While on my two-week holiday in Lanzarote, I scheduled an evening visit to Los Hervideros, when the tide was high and the waves were at their biggest.
When I arrived, the large car park was closed for a reason I couldn't quite understand. This meant that the road was chock-a-block with cars & camper vans. I had to take care to compose them out of the frame. A longer focal length helped with this, and it was something I had planned on to give adequate height to the volcanos - particularly the nearest, Volcan Bermeja.
Although not monster waves, I really got a sense of the power of the ocean here - as the surging water roared through the cave network.
Much like my trip to El Golfo (a previous post), the notorious Lanzarote winds proved troublesome. This time, offshore winds drove sea spray back onto my filter and buffeted the camera head-on. So I couldn't shelter it without being in shot myself. Of the 500 exposures I took, this was one of the sharpest combined with an interesting wave form.
Although I hoped for sunset colours, it didn't happen due to low cloud on the horizon... as it hadn't throughout my stay! I began shooting early, which was a good call as the best of the light about a full hour before sunset. While I was set up, the light came and went with the passing clouds, so I picked my moments.
As expected, those pesky tourists were everywhere (wait... I was one too!), so a little tidying was required in post. I left in the one person on the cliffside though, to ad a sense of scale.

A bright yellow sun dominates the sky, casting an intense glow over a cityscape with tall, purple buildings. Wavy, golden lines and splashes of colour create a dynamic foreground, suggesting the movement and energy of the sea.
Farallon Islands, California
The Farallon islands lay 30 miles (48km) off the coast of California. I would say that at first glance they seem like a desolate place but that is untrue because by the time you are close enough to see the islands in any amount of detail, you've already seen tens of thousands of sea birds swarming to and from the islands as well as adrift around it. By the time you can make out the craggy shore and see waves breaking on it, your nostrils are already full of the distinctive scent of sea lion and elephant seal colonies and you've probably seen a whale or a dozen in the waters surrounding the islands on your approach. Desolate the islands are not. They are home to the largest concentration of sea birds in the Pacific Ocean South of Alaska, the waters are rich with life as well; with five species of pinniped (seals and sea lions), a robust population of great white sharks that subsist off them and upwellings that bring nutrients to the surface and support all the teeming life previously mentioned. Because of the sensitive wildlife and difficulty associated with getting onto the island, there is no public entry but its possible to visit the area and see the island via boat. Of course, you're unlikely to see one of the resident burrowing owls or the endemic subspecies of arboreal salamander from a boat but you'll still be amazed at how dense the wildlife is both in water and on land. In this photo you can see the top of the rock lined with common murres, one of the more abundant seabirds there.
Strong winds and a rough lake produced massive plumes of spray, with walls of water crashing against the north pier and lighthouse.
Enjoy!

One of the classic coastal Maine scenes that every photographer likely has on their list of amazing places to photograph. This was my first time here, which if you follow me and am familiar with my work this may seem a bit weird because I have such a large Maine portfolio of images. Usually I'm in a rush to make time and get up towards Acadia or interior Maine and the White Mountains so I've bypassed all this amazing beauty on the mid-coast for almost 2 decades.

South Haven Lighthouse on Lake Michigan during a winter snow storm on January 6th. Ellen measured the conditions with a Kestrel as Temp 18F, Feels like -1F, Wind speed 15mph, Gusts of over 25mph. Waves 8ft and building to 14ft. We were out around sunset between 5 and 5:30pm. Watch the video I shot with a DJI Phantom quadcopter and GoPro at: youtu.be/ECHaHaZpMjQ

Your fish’s tail, which amongst us is considered so beautiful, is thought on earth to be quite ugly; they do not know any better, and they think it necessary to have two stout props, which they call legs, in order to be handsome.”

This image is of a rock called Little Heaver. Looking out from Lamorna Cove you can see this rock perched in front of the headland on the left. A couple of captures of the water running of the rock to produce some lovely water trials
Well, Storm Bram has moved on but we still have been having a good old stormy day! To walk down to the beach to catch the crashing waves is an approximate 5 minute walk and that was my walk for today!
Simply too windy and cold so back home but thankfully I did get to the gym this morning for my RPM and Yoga Classes ~ calories were burned!!
