Aberdeen Bay Wind Farm

A swirling, chirping sea of feathered bodies,

 

Darting and diving with graceful ease,

 

Against a jagged, rocky face of stone,

 

A natural tapestry of life and motion.

 

The wind rushes past,

 

Carrying the music of their wings,

 

As they dance and play,

 

In this wild and beautiful place

 

The northern gannet is a social bird that lives and breeds in colonies, often on cliffs or offshore islands. It breeds primarily in the North Atlantic, with large colonies in places like Scotland, Ireland, Canada, and Greenland. It is a migratory bird, with some populations wintering in southern Europe and West Africa.

"Life is like the ocean. It can be calm or still, and rough or rigid, but in the end, it is always beautiful."

 

Happy Saturday. all!

 

On the theme of Vancouver Island, here is another perspective of the lighthouse that is part of the Fort Rodd Hill park we stayed at for a couple of nights. We were able to watch many activities happening in this passage way of the Pacific. We saw a huge Cruise Ship sail off at night. There were several freighters during the day as you can see if you zoom in, and a ship was anchored out from shore with all kinds of navy personnel being transported out to the ship in small water craft to do manoeuvres offshore. This was one of the more peaceful scenes just as the sun was setting.

Night on the way but the work always continues. Offshore in the North Sea this evening.

Fog had dominated the area all morning, lifting as the sun began to burn through it in the early afternoon. My wife and I found this almost hidden cove just as light pierced through the dense haze that hung just offshore. I snapped a few shots, posting one several months ago. This one, however, came out with more light and deeper colors.

 

I hope your week has gone well. And as always, thank you for stopping by.

In 2017 we visited Key West and took a sea plane to Fort Jefferson NP, an island off the coast of Florida. This image was snapped through a window of the plane as we flew over long stretches of clear, shallow water where ocean currents form underwater rivers of white sand.

I took this shot about 30 minutes after the ferry had embarked on its journey to Newcastle-upon-Tyne. To my surprise, an offshore windpark appeared on the horizon. I took a couple of images some of which I will post in the next couple of days. Here's the first one.I am aware that this grainy and moody style isn't everybody's cup of tea. I hope you like it anyway.

 

Enjoy!
