This is a dramatic series (the black and whites since just before Christmas). I think this is my favorite among them – it gives me a good, uplifting feeling.
Thanks Lynn, I just shot it about two hours ago. Don’t you love the internet? 🙂
It’s been an interesting series for me: a return to wide and vertical after a normal and mostly horizontal November. Glad you commented. As always, a humble thanks.
Two hours ago – cool! And better than posting it on Instagram, in my opinion. I confess that I didn’t pick up on the vertical format but I did notice the wider angle. It’s good that you have found endless variety and countless possibilities in your surroundings after lving there quite a few years. Do you think being near water makes that easier?
The water provides additional places to recreate, I suppose. Despite the density of the population and suburban sprawl, there are many deserted beaches (especially in winter). And to its credit, Long Island has managed to preserve a significant amount of it’s 1.1 million acres (over 100,000 acres in the central Pine Barrens and here on the South Fork: a fine network of trails).
All of these places are full of what you wisely describe as “possibilities.”
Preserving the land certainly makes a big difference, and I was thinking of the way light on water behaves, and the constant changes the tides bring. 🙂
There’s so many great photographers to admire, but skies like these do take me back to those Ansel Adams instruction books that I used to pore through in my “salad” years. Thanks for commenting Linda. Glad you like the series. 🙂

Yes- good point; the mercurial nature of all that water provides a steady stream of ideas
I like this pic! It’s great
Thanks so much Yolanda! 🙂
Wonderful B&W, John!
Thanks a lot Harrie! 👋
I love the perspective on this photograph. What a wonderful sky you have rendered. Like Lynn, I am enjoying this whole series a lot.

Wow! Sensational image. Sand and sky with the endless ocean not far away. Great pic.
Thanks 🙂
