Brecon Beacons Winter Photo Gallery

/0 Comments/in , , , , , /by

Brecon Beacons December 2009 photo gallery I’ve uploaded about 40 new photos so far from the mountains after the snow in December.  I made a few trips up Corn Du and Pen Y Fan and once up Fan Fawr.  Recently added photos appear at the top of the gallery, which I’ll still be adding to […]

Corn Du – Brecon Beacons

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

View from Pen Y Fan of Corn Du partially hidden in Clouds, Brecon Beacons, Wales.  December 21, 2009 Super cold and lots of snow, but the winds were calm. The clouds were slowly blowing over the summits creating total whiteouts with occasional moments of visibility. Would have been easy to get lost if I wasn’t […]

Lofoten Islands – Flakstad

Flakstad, Lofoten Islands, Norway. In summer under blue skies, this is a wonderful beach that is often crowded with people.  In early January it is a cold and windswept place – which is perfect for me because there are no footprints. Nikon D700, 24mm tilt-shift lens.

Santa Barbara – Shipwrecks

/0 Comments/in , , /by

After nearly one week the storms have finally departed as Saturday started off with a perfectly blue sky (probably the nicest day I’ve had since I left California in September).  Santa Barbara’s East beach was littered with numerous beached boats which were torn loose from mooring just off the coast; where the sea is normally […]

Unstad – Lofoten

Unstad beach, Lofoten islands, Norway. An unrelenting storm had been hanging over the islands all day, but the weather on the islands can be quite localized, so I took a gamble that the north side might have some better weather, and indeed it did.  Emerging from the tunnel to Unstad, the snow had stopped and […]

Kjerkfjord as seen from near Reine, Lofoten islands, Norway. This is the light at around 1:30 pm on the afternoon of January 6, the first day since mid December where the sun once again appears on the horizon at 68˚ north.  Got lucky to have calm winds and mostly clear skies on this day.  Imagine […]

Shipwreck – Santa Barbara

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Several big storms have been blowing through southern California over the last days causing quite a bit of chaos to a place that is normally used to sunshine.  High seas have torn several sailboats loose from their moorings and washed them ashore on East Beach near the Cabrillo Bath house.  Went down to the beach […]

Lofoten – Haukland Beach

Haukland Beach winter, Lofoten islands, Norway. When the sky is clear, the light as this amazing diffuse glow to it.  Due to being so far north, the sun travel at much more of a horizontal angle than what occurs as one approaches the equator.  So due to this, the period of ‘sunset’ or ‘sunrise’ light […]
