We're having a lot of rain! I kind of like it! It usually comes with a lot of wind, too. Today I saw a bunch of seagulls sitting in a cow pasture and it answered a question I've been wondering about: That's where they go to wait it out!
China Beach, Oregon, USA
How can something that is transparent, water, remain so unknown and mysterious?
Blanca loves the smell of the ocean. Doesn't everybody?
Only 5 more weeks to go on her 52-week project!
Sea stacks on China Beach. The Oregon Coast has a large number and variety of such rock formations. They are millions of years old. Only the hardest cores remain standing while everything around them has been eroded away. Their shapes are very suggestive to the imagination, and it's easy to see faces, animals and mythical temples!
Les Cliffs of Moher, Liscannor, comté de Clare, Irlande.
Les falaises de Moher (en irlandais : Aillte an Mhothair, « falaises des ruines ») sont des ensembles de falaises formées il y a plus de 320 millions d'années qui s’élèvent jusqu’à 214 m au-dessus de l’océan Atlantique sur une longueur de huit kilomètres. Ces falaises fascinent par leur beauté et leurs pentes vertigineuses. Ces masses de calcaire et de schiste érodées par le vent et l'océan, souvent déchaînés près de ces côtes, sont visitées par plus d'un million de touristes par an.
La tour O'Brien a été construite en 1835 au milieu des falaises par Sir Cornelius O'Brien, pour offrir un point d’observation pour les très nombreux touristes qui venaient déjà sur le site. Par temps clair, on peut y voir, outre les îles d'Aran et la baie de Galway, les montagnes du Connemara. Cette tour marque à la fois le milieu et le point culminant des falaises de Moher. À 200 mètres sous la tour et à 50 mètres au-dessus de la mer se trouve la spectaculaire aiguille pierreuse de 60 mètres de haut appelée An Branán Mor.
Ce paysage a par ailleurs accueilli le tournage de plusieurs films dont une des scènes du sixième volet de la saga Harry Potter, Harry Potter et le Prince de sang-mêlé ainsi que dans Astérix et Obélix : Au service de Sa Majesté.
En 2015, le Burren & Cliffs of Moher a obtenu le statut de Géoparc mondial UNESCO et est désormais reconnu parmi les 10 meilleurs géoparcs au monde. Un « géoparc » est défini comme une région dotée d'une géologie, d'une culture et d'un patrimoine exceptionnels où les gens travaillent ensemble pour un avenir durable grâce au tourisme et à l'éducation.
I had to fight my way through the hippies of third beach and tons of selfie taking tourists to get this shot. I absolutely love the warm side light on the sea stack and the moody clouds create such a perfect background. Video below 👇
The sea seamed to be very angry at this afternoon in Vik. How I loved the mood of this moment.
Iceland in February 2022.
Thanks for your visit. Comments, faves and invitations are very appreciated if you chose to leave any.
A sea stack off the coast of Heimaey, the largest of the Westman Islands, Iceland. Heimaey and another sea stack are visible in the background.
A variety of seabirds nest on cliffs and rocky ledges in the Westman Islands. Guano from nesting birds is visible as white patches on the rock. Puffins dig burrows in the grassy areas.

Now that we are heading into a freezing weekend, thought that we would need the warmth of a wonderful summer day at the beach… 😀

Arrived to the beach well in advance to sunrise and while I was waiting for the "real thing" I was taking some shots from time to time "just to do something" as it was pitch dark and I wasn't expecting much of those images.
Well, turned out that those were the best ones I took that morning!
Gueirua is a rocky beach on the Astúrias coast, Wild, raw, untouched nature.
The lined seastacks at sea are an amazing sight and the rock formations on the beach are beautiful as well.

P.S.: EXIF data is missing for this photo due to the fact that I have used a Laowa 17mm f4.0 lens. This is a fully manual lens and doesn't even have the chip needed for the communication with the camera that would allow the transmission of the EXIF data.

Cape Dyrholaey near Vik in South Iceland showcasing gorgeous seastacks consisting of columnar basalt and black volcanic beach to contrast the blue sea and sky. A place of picture postcards.
I saw there was going to be a very low tide right around sunset and decided to visit China Beach again. It's quite a trek down to this beach and it was wet and slippery. More rain was threatening, but we actually had a lovely half hour of play and photo time down on the beach. Nobody else was there! It got very dark but the glistening beach made great reflections.
This is actually a composite of three pictures. I had cut off the sky or the rocks on various shots trying to get Blanca and had to piece it back together. The rock on the left makes me think of Easter Island. I used the Speedlight on camera in slow sync to help illuminate Blanca.
Hiking back up through the dark woods was a little spooky, but I had Blanca to show me the way and protect me if needed!
China Beach, Oregon, USA
On Vatnsnes peninsula in North-West Iceland just off shore stands the majestic Hvítserkur, a 15 meters' high monolith. It looks like an animal of some sort, an elephant or a rhino - or even a dinosaurs drinking. There are lots of fulmars nesting on it so it seems to be alive and it is half-white from their excrement, thus the name Hvítserkur - "hvít-" meaning white. The legend goes that Hvítserkur is a petrified troll. The troll lived in Strandir and wanted to tear down the bells at Þingeyraklaustur convent. But fortunately it got caught by daylight and as we all know trolls turn into stone by daylight.

The fog was just lifting at Third Beach, near La Push, WA, when we arrived. It reminded me of the Oregon Coast, with all the sea stacks in the water.
Three sunrises on the trot and we finally got some lovely colour
Not the higher tide of previous mornings but we enjoyed watching the antics of the seals down below and the haunting sounds they made echoed out before light.
We met some other togs on those mornings, one having travelled over from Wales, in the hope of a Borealis, which didn't quite happen, at least at this location.
Another called Grant Galbraith, on a break from Hull, not so far away and finally on this morning a tog from Malton
Hope you all got some images you were happy with, it was good meeting you all.
That was one thing that came from our trip, everyone we met seemed to be so friendly.
We met a couple over from Australia, on a six months vacation, traveling the whole of the UK (now that would be nice) Hope the rest of your trip goes well.
A very kind couple, even gave us a pair of binoculars, just incase we needed them, how kind was that
Just goes to show, there's still kindness in this world of ours
Dyrholaey, a promontory or smaller peninsula near Vik at the very Southern tip of Iceland offers wonderful sights to visitors with black volcanic beach, a gorgeous coastline, fabulous sea stacks of columnar basalt like the one to the left, more sea stacks and columnar basalt along the distant coastline near Vik and those fabulous Reynisdrangar: the stacks to be seen in the background to the right, which are fabled to be a sailing ship and a troll pulling it.
A long exposure taken at high tide of the sea-stack at Selwicks Bay, pronounced Sel-icks.
Be prepared for quite a long climb down the steps and also the return journey, if you intend to get down to the beach.
Check out the tide times too, as the separation between the cliffs and sea-stack isn't possible at higher tide, other than from the descending steps, used here
There were some lovely waves hitting the large rock formations as the tide came in at Whitburn
I watched as these two birds
barely flinched as the spray came to the top
A slightly slower shutter speed enabled me to capture the motion.
This was the tail end of one of the most incredible sunsets I've seen at Rodeo Beach. As always, thanks for viewing/faving/commenting, I really appreciate it!
North Icelandic coastline near Saudarkrokr. I loved this stretch of Iceland;s coast with its incredibly varied geological features. Those buttes and seastacks in front of the coast looked like parts of an intricate play for our planet's creative forces.
[You will find this and other images of mine in my new website:
Sintra is a charming village just about 20 kms from Lisbon's center. The village itself is beautiiful and, in the mountain above it, the palace and castle are also jewels that justify a visit.
What isn't so well known is its coastal area, where you can explore beautiful beaches and amazing rock formations, Along the cooast you will find excellent trekking paths to explore the area.
The spot where this shot was taken has a magnificent view that extends as far as Praia da Ursa (you can see one of its iconic seastacks) and to Cabo da Roca with its far distant lighthouse.

Cabo da Roca's is a quite sizable lighthouse but looks extremely small when compared to the gigantic sea stacks on Sintra's rocky coastline.
Cabo da Roca is Continental Europe's westernmost point and close to it lies my preferred Portuguese beach - Praia da Ursa.

Today is a classic rainy, overcast day here in the Northwest so I felt like uploading something that fit accordingly. This was taken near Tillamook, Oregon at the end of very dark gray day.... I felt this moody image was fitting for the day!
