I love the view from Vík beach, off to Reynisdrangar (aka the cool stacks!). I tried a slightly different angle on this visit. Although it looks so peaceful and smooth as a result of the long exposure, the waves were brutal!
Whilst walking on the beach I noticed these blue gloves placed on the side of a fisherman's boat. I found them quite amusing and they seemed to be waving to the passing boats.
Once on a long and lazy Sunday,
I lingered on a warm and sandy shore.
I sat and watched the gulls take flight
and pondered what to do with my soul once more.
The clouds gathered and the waves started to rush in,
I heard children laughing and the sound of the hurried wind.
“What to do?”, I asked myself, “Sit here and enjoy the view or jump in and try something new?”
I made a decision and outstretched my spirit.
A powerful wave gathered strength and it knew I sat near it.
It came for me and as it grew, I did not fear.
For I knew, it carried with it grace…..
and redemption was near.
It was cool and refreshing yet warm and inviting.
The wave that overtook me washed it all away.
This wave that overtook me made me whole that day.
I felt very inspired to write this story thanks to the help of a friend.
I hope you all find some inspiration this week.
Happy Sunday!
We are in a. spell of storms and very wet weather, so even though I could cycle down to the coast, I'd get soaked, so this is a. shot from earlier in the year. I think this was storm Dennis. It's. so easily to get totallly absorbed when shooting waves. Down by the seaside is by Led Zeppelin.

Another one from Friday 21 May when there was exceptionally strong winds for the time of year with gusts up to 60mph. The weather was not ideal with rain forecast to arrive by afternoon which luckily did not materialise on the South Coast as it broke up before arriving. The tides were not ideal either with high tide due at 19.45 when on an overcast day it would be quite dim. Nevertheless I headed to Newhaven, East Sussex for some giant wave pictures. I took 900 pictures over nearly 3 hours
The location at Newhaven on the South Coast has the advantage of a wide and high shingle beach providing a safe location to take pictures even in a fierce storm. This particular picture taken from a little further inland on a low ridge. The wall is a breakwater for the harbour and with a serious storm massive waves come in from the SW and hit the breakwater also creating a lot of backwash and turbulence. This picture was taken about 3 hours before high tide.
The picture was taken with a Sony A700 with a Minolta 75-300mm zoom at 210mm. Taken handheld No chance of a steady tripod in those conditions. The image was processed first in Camera Raw Editor. Then it was Topaz Denoise followed by Topaz Clarity and Topaz Adjust for more detail. Next I added a brightness adjustment layer for selective adjustments using a layer mask. Finally I converted to mono using Topaz BW Effects
