It has been quite windy the past weeks. Wind and waves brings driftwood to the beaches. Sadly other things also washes ashore. Life started in the oceans and from a fish that one day decided that walking is hip, we all originates. This kinship is clear in the fact that we spend our first nine months in water. We are to 60% water. Throwing plastic garbage in the ocean is like shoving it up the womb of our mother.
Treat your mother right, ha de Gött!
Today was sunny and I decided to do some landscape photography. I got some nice shots I’ll share later. This little tussock of grass caught my attention as took a little break leeward from a cliff. There on a small sand beach it was engaged in a tug of war with the strong wind.
Flex and bend to the end, ha de Gött!
Can’t have one without the other, Ha de Gött!
With promise of warmth and summer it lits up this cold January day. Comfortable temperature in this, from the north wind, sheltered bay. On the other side of the hills the strong winds, up to 25 meters per second, cut through bone and marrow.
Dress for success, ha de Gött!
It was a bit tricky with the strong sunlight but I managed to get a few good shots with long exposure. I love the effect the water splash makes with the lens open a bit longer.
I also took some video with my phone and you can find it here.
Look but don’t stare, ha de Gött!
Two pictures from this weekend storm. The power of the wind literately took my breath away. I had to find shelter behind a rock or sit so I didn’t fall in the water.
Stand firm, ha de Gött!
Today it appeared to me. Rose up in the roaring storm. In all its glory. Whipped up by the wind and waves. For just a brief moment.
Splashed with its tail in anger. Casts the evil eye on humanity. Roaring a plead. Stop using my home as a dump.
We should be ashamed, ha de Gött!
Today there is a roaring storm outside. With heavy rain it was not possible to take photos. But then, an hour before sunset it broke through the clouds. The photographers best friend, the sun. I grabbed my camera and drove down to the beach. Parked like a tourist and ran over the slippery rocks, blinded by the setting sun. I think it was worth it.
The forecast promise that the strong winds will stay until tomorrow and that there will be sun. Guess where I’ll be?
See the light, ha de Gött!
play mates forest and water swirling down the hill in an whimsical stop and go water push trough forests attempts to hold back its friend float along branch and stick see where it goes to the noisy roaring ocean wind freeze a moment in cold north wind rippling to birds accompaniment and treetops whooshing till we meet again
Stay in the moment, ha de Gött!
Leaning isn’t falling, ha de Gött!
