Timeless sea breezes that for aeons have blown ancients rocks, you are the purest space coming from afar...(Maria Rilke)...
This stretch of coast in Norway is a gem towards the sea, but at the same time has a dramatic story to tell: The sea here is Norway's most exposed to storms: In the autumn and winter storms, the waves can reach 30m high. And the beds of the lighthouse keepers far out in the sea, moved across the floor as they slept. The story tells of a brave woman: Gjertrud 1814-1900: Her father was a famous pilot, and died at sea in 1823. She fought to keep her father's pilot certificate. And she was married to four sailors in turn. The first three perished at sea a few years apart. When she mourned for them, she went up on a great rock, and looked out over the sea for them. And this stone has been given her name "Gjertrud stone".
Dieser Küstenabschnitt in Norwegen ist ein Juwel in Richtung Meer, hat aber gleichzeitig eine dramatische Geschichte zu erzählen: Das Meer hier ist Norwegens am stärksten Stürmen ausgesetzt: In den Herbst- und Winterstürmen können die Wellen 30 m hoch werden. Und die Betten der Leuchtturmwärter weit draußen im Meer bewegten sich im Schlaf über den Boden. Die Geschichte erzählt von einer tapferen Frau: Gjertrud 1814-1900: Ihr Vater war ein berühmter Pilot und starb 1823 auf See. Sie kämpfte darum, den Pilotenschein ihres Vaters zu behalten. Und sie war wiederum mit vier Matrosen verheiratet. Die ersten drei starben im Abstand von einigen Jahren auf See. Als sie um sie trauerte, stieg sie auf einen großen Felsen und suchte sie auf dem Meer. Und dieser Stein hat ihren Namen "Gjertrud-Stein" bekommen
Este tramo de costa de Noruega es una joya hacia el mar, pero al mismo tiempo tiene una historia dramática que contar: el mar aquí es el más expuesto a las tormentas de Noruega: en las tormentas de otoño e invierno, las olas pueden alcanzar los 30 m de altura. Y las camas de los fareros, lejos en el mar, se movían por el suelo mientras dormían. La historia habla de una mujer valiente: Gjertrud 1814-1900: Su padre era un piloto famoso y murió en el mar en 1823. Luchó para mantener el certificado de piloto de su padre. Y ella estaba casada con cuatro marineros a su vez. Los tres primeros perecieron en el mar con unos pocos años de diferencia. Cuando hizo duelo por ellos, subió a una gran roca y miró hacia el mar en busca de ellos. Y a esta piedra se le ha dado el nombre de "piedra de Gjertrud".
Cette partie de la côte norvégienne est un joyau face à la mer, mais a en même temps une histoire dramatique à raconter : la mer ici est la plus exposée aux tempêtes de Norvège : lors des tempêtes d'automne et d'hiver, les vagues peuvent atteindre 30 m de haut. Et les lits des gardiens de phare loin dans la mer, se déplaçaient sur le sol pendant leur sommeil. L'histoire raconte l'histoire d'une femme courageuse : Gjertrud 1814-1900 : Son père était un pilote célèbre, et mourut en mer en 1823. Elle s'est battue pour conserver le brevet de pilote de son père. Et elle était mariée à quatre marins à tour de rôle. Les trois premiers périrent en mer à quelques années d'intervalle. Lorsqu'elle les pleura, elle monta sur un grand rocher et les regarda sur la mer. Et cette pierre a reçu son nom de "pierre de Gjertrud"...

I know I have took and posted a similar picture before but this was taken with my new Hi Tech 10mm 10 stop filter with a lee 0.6 ND grad so wanted to show everyone.
The sky was quite white at this point but the nd grad bought back some detail.
i did colour correct this but decided it actually looked nice with a cooler colour so changed it back slightly.
This is a 130 second exposure thanks to my new Hi Tech filter.
Back to work tomorrow so won't be on as much for a couple of days but will be getting out with my new stuff soon for some picture taking.
My camera was on my tripod and fired via cable release using bulb mode and timed with my watch.
Getting my photo mojo back so I've got lots of ideas springing back into my mind again.
Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou for all your amazing support helping my last few pictures to reach explore and my last one making the flickr front page :)
look forward to seeing more of all your amazing pictures through 2012.
Hope you all had a great xmas and wish you all a prosperous New Year :)
My 68th image on explore (28/12/2024), reaching No. 358!
Mica Lumley, at a group shoot at NAS studio (now defunct), Basingstoke, in Hampshire.
Lit with a single beauty dish above and behind camera, with a reflector below, shot with a Nikon D7000 and a Nikkor AF Zoom 28-100mm f/3.5-5.6G lens, and processed in GIMP and Photoscape.
I walked the lake and took this POV with my iPhone. Then I decided to walk home, get my a1 with the wide angle, return, and do it again. The water was so calm the reflection was perfect, and the clouds eliminated the sun's reflections. I wanted the detail that only the a1 could capture

The Diver Jan visits a newly discovered wreck, which is, although know for more than two years, not positively identified yet. Using Rebreathers, we were able to extend our Bottom Time massively, so our findings might contribute to the ID of that Wreck. The measurements we took fit to our suspected ship...

كَمْ هيَ أنَآنيَة ذآكرَتيْ ،،
تستَعيد نَشَآطهَآ وقْت ألمِي -
تَتَذكرْ هَذآ وذَآكْ ،، لتَستَمتعَ بِ ألمِي !
فأبكِي أنَآ ، وتَضحَك هيَ الأخرَى !
مَنْ يقتَنِي منّيْ ذَآكرَة !
تلقَبْ بذَآكرة الحَنينْ ؟؟
قَديمَة بعضْ الشَيء !!
ومتَمردة قلِيلاً !!
نَشيطَة كثيراَ !!
