This is an image made from my deck of intrepid surfers on a huge break about 2 kms from me. The surfers are towed onto the 10 m waves by jetskis. There was quite a haze that softens the image. Perhaps I should have used a polarising filter?
This is a VINTAGE Japanese Odori Sensu (Dance Fan). It features a striking pattern of abstracted waves (seigaiha) on a blue background. This piece likely originates in the Showa Period (1926 - 1989), and measures approximately 29cm in length when folded. Unfortunately the fan's ridges are a bit worn, and there is some faint patina on the white parts of the design.
Nothing like a 45 minute break at lunch to sit and do some photography at the beach with perfect conditions.

Our first post-lockdown excursion, and our first restaurant meal since 31 October 2020. We lunched by the sea, at Markopoulos, near Oropos, about an hour away from our home in Athens.
The plastic screens were down as the sea was a little frisky, breaking against the wall below us.
The Cassini spacecraft catches Saturn's moon Daphnis making waves and casting shadows from the narrow Keeler Gap of the planet's A ring in this view taken around the time of Saturn's August 2009 equinox.
Daphnis (8 kilometers, or 5 miles across) is almost invisible in this view, but the shadows cast on the wide A ring can be seen below the center of the image. The Enke Gap of the A ring, which is wider than the Keeler Gap, is on the right. Saturn's thin F ring is on the left of the view. More than a dozen background stars are visible in this image.
Daphnis has an inclined orbit and its gravitational pull perturbs the orbits of the particles of the A ring forming the Keeler Gap's edge and sculpts the edge into waves having both horizontal (radial) and out-of-plane components. Material on the inner edge of the gap orbits faster than the moon so that the waves there lead the moon in its orbit. Material on the outer edge moves slower than the moon, so waves there trail the moon.
This view looks toward the northern, sunlit side of the rings from about 13 degrees above the ringplane. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Aug. 16, 2009. The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 2.1 million kilometers (1.3 million miles) from Saturn and at a Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 108 degrees.
Image scale is 12 kilometers (8 miles) per pixel.
Hey guys! :) Sorry I haven't posted lately, it's been awhile! But I have some pictures from Florida that I'm ready to share. This one was in Ponte Vedra Beach in northern Florida.
Freshmen year starts in 2 weeks! :D
