Who Mastered Who?
Sometimes you master the wind…
And other times the wind masters you…
No victory for the underdog, the wind and the waves were a formidable foe that gave little and demanded much.

Saxon Harbor on Lake Superior
Saxon, WI
Notes: A late summer evening on the break wall at Saxon Harbor. A storm was moving in which created an intricate cloud cover across the still surface of Lake Superior. A survey marker on the break wall surface created a perfect place to setup for the shot.

The Wind Blows All Types of Creatures to the Beach
The waves were docile and the wind was wrong. A couple grasshoppers were blown to the heat of the beach, along with some flying demons from the pit of hell!
Apparently last year year the weather was in my favor and whenever I went to the beach there were waves. The last two trips proved to be fairly calm so my future trips will be preceded with a check of the surf (not necessarily the forecast).
Thankfully the company at the beach was better than the stable flies and grasshoppers.

Island Beach State Park by Barnegate Inlet
Barnegat Inlet, IBSP, NJ
Notes: Taken on a hot summer day after a long walk down the shore. This was my second beach panorama and without a way to mask my shadow I didn’t hold much chance of a decent outcome. The waves weren’t worth surfing and I needed a break so I gave it a try. The results turned out better than expected and with some cleaning up and a nadir cap and it would be ship shape.
