Today
The sky is not blue but grey.
The wind is not calm but booming.
The waves crash in your face.
The storm is there.
Withstand it!

A view from a quay in Sardinia around New Year 1980/81.

As every storm is difficult to catch on a picture, there are "just" dark grey (fast moving) clouds in the sky, some coastal shore as a grey line on the horizon, storm flattened waves on the sea surface in dark blue with foam crowns on the waves, and the quay we were standing on in the foreground. A bow of a boat on the quay is on the left edge of the picture.

It was between Bft. 8 and 10, sometimes up to Bft. 12. We barely could stand and had to get a tight grip on anything mounted to the ground. So the photography is not as focused as usual. And it was very cold that year, between zero and -12 degrees Celsius.

It was a hell of a trip.

#elbe

A picture of river Elbe estuary into the North Sea at Cuxhaven (coordinates 53° 52′ N, 8° 42′ O).

It was a sunny and windy (Bft. 3 - 4) day, that afternoon in October. The sky was blue, covered with just a few white clouds.

At that point the Elbe is about 20 to 30 km wide. On the opposite shore is Schleswig.Holstein, with really many wind turbines, delivering 20% of our energy needs.

Here is a heavy traffic sea lane, so there are placed sea buoys. On the left side of the picture is a red portside buoy, behind it a yellow shoal buoy. On the right side of the picture is a green starboard buoy. The red and green buoys mark the ship´s fairway.

#MeerMittwoch should be #WaterWednesday in English instead of #SeaWednesday for alliterative reasons.

Sometimes the sunset photo is behind you. I like the contrast of pastel sky and still, inky black water on this one.

#cuxhaven

A picture taken on the beach in Sahlenburg (Cuxhaven, Germany, coordinates 53°51′46″N 8°37′56″E) looking to West-Southwest over the river mouth of the Weser.

Zoom on max one late afternoon in February, so the colors were changed weird. The picture is mainly divided in three horizontal stripes. The upper is what should be the sky and the horizon. It is nearly violet. On the horizon are visible those big offshore wind generators, nearly shadow grey. The grey silhouette of a shrimp boat is also seen on the right edge between the wind mills.

The middle stripe of the picture is the sea in a very light blue, the sea is calm.

The lower stripe is the intertidal mudflat, the color is a light pink.

The windmills on the hoirizon are not really there, it was a "Fata Morgana" effect, so the windmills are partly reflected from underneath. And so is the shrimp boat that seems floating above the sea.

The whole picture is in pastel colors, a kind of surrealistic effect.

Today is #wednesday and it means I'm posting some #water. Just like most other days. I find it very exciting to look for compositions without any solid objects, like rocks or cliffs. Just by using the fleeting ephemeral beauty of the waves.
