Month of March, officially when spring begins, days getting longer and flowers start to bloom. Ah.. where have you been hiding Mr. Sun?
But who can resist frost in the morning, I just can't sleep with the idea in my head. Feet are dying to go, fingers very eager to press the shutter, just need to wait for the right time and condition.
I normally leave most of my stuff in the boot for when I just want to quickly drive around for some quick shoots, but alas! I did not double check if all my things are there, and I left one of the most important thing especially when going to the coast, my wellies!
My poor walking boots and feet were soaked in the freezing water and made it numb for awhile, wish there's a traveling Oaken nearby or just maybe next time check my things first before going :)
Some Big Waves crashing into the cliff's at the Bay of Skaill, Orkney. Several days of westerly gale and the lumps start to grow!!
Cliff top walk anyone?
Exhilaration no doubt for this surfer at Jeffreys Bay, riding one of the world’s longest and best right hand point breaks, courtesy of the Indian Ocean swells.
Certainly too big for me to attempt when I visited way back in 1972, but as an avid surfie, I’d always wanted to see it. Luckily, it was working well.

This is called the Fire Wave, possibly because it's red but probably because it's in the Valley of Fire or most likely both!. This place is so full of colors and textures it would make your head spin!
Luckily I had cleaned the salt spray off my lens just before this wave came in. Nature put on an incredible show here today both on the water, and land - will show that tomorrow.
Last January, this iconic lighthouse was destroyed in a fierce winter storm. It's not the first time this happened. Since the original was constructed in 1903, it's been knocked down by waves as well as fire. On this occasion, the townsfolk came together to fund a replacement but moved it back several feet from the breakwater on a new foundation. Perhaps that will spare the wooden structure from the worst of the waves as they come crashing ashore in a gale. It still looks a bit unfinished and I'm hoping it will be shingled by cedar shakes as the previous version was.
As for my composition, I was looking to recreate some of the big rollers that come into the harbor from Georgian Bay - using the waves of stone on an adjacent beach.
Wave Rider which runs from Scarborough harbour seen returning after a trip. This sports day boat is a specially modified Hunton XRS37 designed to carry 12 passengers allowing customers to experience the thrill of a Hunton Power Boat. It's sleek, elegant lines reflect our ageless design ethos and the razor sharp handling testifies to its racing heritage allowing it to give an exciting 10 minute fast ride across Scarborough’s beautiful North and South Bays traveling at speeds of well over 30 knots.
Tiny waves washed onto the shore in below zero F weather and froze. More waves reached the ice and added to the little ridges, with water splashing and freezing into knobby formations. All of these ice photos, with all their variations, were taken within about 1/4 mile of each other at North Beach State Park, Bear Lake, Idaho
