The wind was strong enough that it was difficult to steady my camera, so I used my iPhone camera. Waves crashed over the edge of the Charlevoix South Pier. To withstand the wave action, the Charlevoix South Pier Light was rebuilt using steel to replace the wood in the year 1948.
A rolling wave catching the morning light on a windy day at Pismo Beach, California.
Cheers to the new week ahead dear friends!
Standing on the beach at Cullen late December and it was freezing with a bitting wind ,cutting through me and blowing the spray back off the top of the waves .....but so beautiful
My first shoot since December. Unusual for me, but I co-coordinated a major regional festival that had me working more than full time since late December. Couple that with various photography gigs including actor headshots, child portrait sessions, and my main gig which is performing arts photography and it added up to not a single frame of landscape since my Lowcountry trip before Christmas.
If anyone is interested in my performing arts work, see it here:
I hope to take that show on the road soon, and become a mobile production photographer. Meantime, here's a local landscape, local being an hour away.
Año Nuevo, California
Two large Monterey cypress trees standing on a bluff along the Pacific coast as waves roll in. They are likely the last remains of an old building site.
Snow flurries along the Mojave River cap the ridges of the riverbed with white, creating the illusion of foam-crested waves of water between its sandy banks. In reality, the winter this year has been a dry one, in contrast to last year, when heavy rains produced the rushing water in the riverbed seen in the image below, taken from nearly the same spot on the riverbank.

Living along the coast of Southern California I am naturally drawn to photographing waves. Unfortunately the ocean has been flat lately, so I had to find these waves while on a walk at the San Diego Botanic Garden.
Taken at Owens Lake on an interesting and educational hike along the eastern shore near Keeler, California.
A small glimpse of the Perry Cardoza Land Art Project which is part of the Owens Lake dust mitigation and rewatering project.
These are part of artificial islands nicknamed the whitecaps, the explanation can be found in the first link below.

Waves on Lake Hartwell, South Carolina. The lake is on the border of South Carolina and Georgia.
Thanks for looking! Isn't God a great artist?
Photographed while hiking Sunday River Whitecap, a somewhat remote peak in northwestern Maine. It is a very long hike via the Grafton Loop Trail, but many hikers choose to get to the summit via an "unofficial" route that includes an unpaved logging road, a bootleg trail, and finally the Grafton Loop Trail, for a total round trip distance of about 6.5 miles and about 2100' of climbing.
Much of the plant life in the "alpine zone" has adapted to cold temperatures and high winds by growing low to the ground. Some of the vegetation that retains its leaves year round has also evolved a waxy coating on the leaves, to help prevent desiccation. That waxy coating causes a lot of reflections, which I tried to minimize in this shot by using a circular polarizing filter.
Old Speck, the fifth highest peak in Maine at 4,170', can be seen on the upper right.
Both Old Speck and Sunday River Whitecap (3,335') are in the Mahoosuc Range. The Mahoosuc Range is a northern extension of the White Mountains, and straddles the border between New Hampshire and Maine. Substantial parts of the range are publicly owned as parts of the National Park Service Appalachian Trail corridor and Grafton Notch State Park in Maine. The range is a subrange of the Appalachian Mountains.
Rock layers at Arches NP. Really weird terrain! The light-colored layer protects softer rock below, but it eventually gives way, as seen by the large boulders in the shaded areas near the center. The large opening near the right is Tapestry Arch, though it isn't evident from this angle that it's an arch.
Tried to capture the feeling of waves, the power of the ocean, the sense of endless motion.

Canyonlands National Park, along the road to Elephant Hill. Other shots taken in Arches show similar patterns of hard, white rock protecting other layers from erosion. I'm not sure if it's the same formations, but the pattern is the same.
Ishikawa prefecture, Noto peninsula, Japan, 2015
This is a fantastic area up on the Noto Peninsula of Ishikawa prefecture Japan. It's a long drive (about 4 hours) but I'll definitely be going up here again - hopefully this winter. The winds were so strong on this day that I had to park the car to provide a wind shield for the tripod. It's the first time I've ever been worried that if parked the wrong way, the wind might rip the door off the car. And yes...along this area of the coast you can actually drive your car right to the water's edge.
You know the wind is stiff off Lake Superior when there are whitecaps on the St. Louis River! While listening to the scanner after shooting a trio of C40s on Proctor Hill and waiting for a new CN ET44AC to climb Steelton Hill I overheard chatter on LS&M's frequency. It sounded like they were running an extra charter after their 1:30 train, an unusual occurrence. This is the only opportunity to get nice light on the north side of the line across Mud Lake and I made it there just in time. Many hope this won't be the tourist line's last year but the odds are against them.
Lives in areas with patches of fine carbonate sand on subtidal reef flats and seaward reefs. Uses the burrow of Alpheus rubromaculatus for refuge. Constantly waves its large, spotted, fan-like pectoral fins as it hovers close above the entrance to its burrow. Lives in coastal to outer reef habitats in shallow depth to about 10 meters, commonly found on sand and rubble patches close or shaded by low overhanging corals . Nuweiba, Gulf of Aqaba, Egypt
