This shot is from last weekend at Austinmer, for one reason or another I never got around to uploading it to flickr until now.
I had to traverse a rocky platform up to my knees in seawater to get around to see this perspective on a deep crack in the shelf. I managed to keep the tripod still enough as a wave pushed up through the gap and spilled over the edge and came gushing past me. luckily I managed to time my exposure just right to capture the motion of the water just as I now remember it in my mind.

It is easy to forget how much our editing skill and software improves over time! This is a re-dux of an archive image from 2009. There are so many of these I want to have another go at!

An incoming wave at Achnahaird Beach, Coigach.
Something of an experiment. I'd appreciate any helpful advice I can get.
Taken at Montana de Oro State Park, south of Morro Bay. Winds were blowing fiercely, thus generating this high surf.
It felt great to be back on Blaauwberg beach again yesterday afternoon... the rough sand crunching between my toes... the waves rushing up the beach and over my feet... and the fresh salty aroma of the Atlantic ocean filling my nostrils and lungs.
Of course the nice light and clouds at sunset also helped to fuel my sense of well-being... it all made me feel so invigorated... and so happy to be living in Cape Town!
Life is good!

It's been a few days and my fingers still haven't fully recovered... When I embarked on this little day trip, I knew I wanted three shots: 1) decent wedge of the leading three locomotives, 2) Iowa City bridge, and 3) Moscow / Cedar River bridge.
So I went to Moscow, but I think I might have made like the Russian army and taken a wrong turn. It was sunny and clear an hour prior, and I arrived at the riverfront to find snow billowing around the small crowd amassing there and relentless waves of frigid wind cutting through all those layers of clothes. I'm not sure what happened, but a year or two ago I just lost all my cold resistance entirely. I just cannot handle it anymore. So, the 20-odd degree weather paired with wave after wave of piercing wind, and sudden snow - plus a half frozen river for good measure - really didn't quite feel too nice!
If nothing else, we all bonded over the shared cold. We were also all waiting there much longer than expected - I thought maybe five or ten minutes, as I wasn't all that far ahead, but it wound up being well over a half hour, maybe closer to 45 minutes. Turns out, the donation train had stopped back in Atalissa - a town I'd very nearly stopped at myself for a shot at the elevator there! But I skipped it as I didn't want to risk getting stuck behind chasers and missing the bridge.
We did not learn of the stop until most of that half hour had passed. At the same time, the snow and wind picked up, and nearly gave us full blizzard and white out conditions. You couldn't see past the third bridge span, and anything closer was plenty hard to see too! Just barely two minutes before UP5716 broke through the sticks. Too bad the wave of relief wasn't warm! I crouched down near the firepit and nearly froze my leg to the ground, hah!
Cranking the heat in the car never felt so good after this...
