The wave breaking over this snake looking seaweed made for an interesting capture.
Sanibel Island is a beautiful barrier Island off the Gulf Coast of Florida. The gulf side has miles of shell strewn beaches and the bay side has expansive mangrove swamps and tidal flats. It's known for J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge that covers much of the Island. I want to go back!
Waves crashing on the shore near the Grand Marais Recreation Park. Lake Superior was restless, though the weather was fine here.

Most wave pools use an ingenious air-powered apparatus with one or more power blowers and butterfly valves that do the trick!

Chicagoans will recognize this as the facade of the Aqua building. This award winning building was designed by Jeanne Gang, and it was (still is?) "the largest project ever awarded to an American firm headed by a woman" (Wikipedia).
I had been wanting to photograph Aqua for quite some time now. The balconies extend in an irregular, undulating manner, mimicking the topographical quality of flowing water. After all, the Chicago river and Lake Michigan are a stone's throw away. I remember reading somewhere that no two floors have the exact same balconies, just as no two waves are alike. Fortunately, this means that no two photographs will be exactly alike either. Stay tuned for a couple more photographs showing my take on this building.
