... as the end of day rolls ashore on Kelleys Island.

"Wave Warriors" is my theme for today. Find a good vantage point on a day when there are good waves and the surfers are out, and the photography is guaranteed to be exciting. Best to have a zoom lens, set the camera on burst setting, find your mark and follow him when he catches a wave. Here is one from the many hundreds I've taken.

Just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean, so must I never live my life for itself, but always in the experience which is going on around me. -Albert Schweitzer

1st of February, 2023. Walking the Coast Path, Vale of Glamorgan Wales. This is a photo I took standing on a cliff at Nash Point High. It's wintertime, I especially like the cool air and the cold waves combination here.

Whenever I'm in New England I always to try to shoot some crashing waves. Every shot is unique and fun. Even when you get hit with a surprise wave.

celebrating world ocean day!

 

it's time to save our oceans from plastic waste and protect the sea flora fauna

 

Relentless waves, in ceaseless march they come,

Each crest a tale of time, each crash a hum.

Against the shore they hurl their might,

With endless rhythm, day and night.

 

They dance in harmony, a symphony of sound,

Echoing through the sands, the sea's profound.

Their fury whispers secrets old,

Stories of sailors, mysteries untold.

 

With every surge, they sculpt the land,

Shaping cliffs and shores with gentle hand.

But underneath their tranquil guise,

Lies a power that could mesmerize.

 

They carry tales from distant lands,

And treasures lost beneath the sands.

In their embrace, the weary find reprieve,

As they ebb and flow, a timeless weave.

 

Relentless waves, in eternal chase,

A reminder of nature's boundless grace.

They teach us lessons of strength and strife,

And the beauty found in the rhythm of life.

A short detour on the road for Chania

Lava rocks along the coast of Maui.

Some more shots taken whilst Storm Herminia was passing through at Porthcawl. These were taken from the harbour side of the breakwater and I think they are more dramatic than the usual shots of Porthcawl.

One image flipped to make a mirror. Thank you for your appreciation, Gail

Following very stormy conditions last weekend, a big swell attracted the more experienced surfers to the Beaches on the coast of Sydney. This surfer gestures the wave as a defiant act once he has conquered the wave.

When we visited Carrapateira in october a strong east wind blew offshore against the Atlantic waves. It was amazing for us to look, how the spray blew in the opposite direction to the breaking waves.

One of the beautiful breaking waves off the coast of Shetland this summer. It's hard to ever tire of the simple pleasure of watching waves breaking. Holy Roller Novocaine is by Kings of Leon

I'm grateful to Nathalie for her infinitely better title suggestion than my original, awful "Rushing Water".

 

Waves crashing onto stony beach between Killiney and Shankill, Dublin, Ireland. It was a windy day and near high tide.

Another one from Tungeneset, Senja. A little more action in this one, than in my previous postings.

I have to acknowledge the fantastic seascapes of David Baker, a photographer based in southern England who produces the most beautiful images of the shore - always in the place where the sea meets the land. This photograph though by no means expresses what he achieves.

 

Taken from the vantage of high cliffs looking down onto part and fully submerged rocks where the northern Atlantic waves crash around.

 

Yesnaby, West Mainland, Orkney, UK

Today storm Eleanor hit the west of the UK, like a mad man i headed out to a spot which can get pretty wild at times to try and capture an image ive had in thought for a while now. All the elements for the shot where there today but they didn't arrive at the same time so its back to waiting. I did capture some interesting images which i will share shortly. This image is just of two waves about to crash and release their energy.

"The voice of the sea is seductive; never ceasing, whispering, clamouring, inviting the soul to wander for a spell in abysses of contemplation. The voice of the sea speaks to the soul. The touch of the sea is sensuous, enfolding the body in its soft, close embrace.”

― Kate Chopin, The Awakening
