Rocky Tide
I was riding a wave of ideas, but the tide is finally pulling out and I am feeling a bit forced to find something to share on my blog. When the tide is in, my mind swells overwhelmingly with ideas I want to try. When it pulls out I find that nothing seems very interesting to try at all. Fortunately my personal creative tidal cycle moves rather quickly and I look forward to the zeal returning.
This was shot earlier this year on a rather stormy eve at Rockaway Beach.
I love the power and beauty of the ocean, and you capture it beautifully!
Where’s your self portrait that Linda has challenged? I failed to get mine done, but was hoping everyone else would have one.
Thanks Ryan. About the challenge… um, well I already have an excess of self-portraits I think ;)
A good analogy of the waves in rhythm with our ideas. I like that. I also like this image especially since I don’t get to the coast that often.
Thank you very much Monte :)
this is amazing, truly beautiful work! very nice-
Thank you Joe!
Love the hint of sunshine in those clouds!
THe sky was really cool this day. Thanks!
You really get a sense that the water is moving right towards you! You must have needed your wellies for sure! :-)
Ha, you are so right! I had on the wellies, and STILL I got wet!
Sure does look amazing, and I love the colour in the sky too. Can’t wait to check it large when I get home. :)
Thanks FS! Hope you’re having fun relaxin’ and all ;)
I love this shot Amber, I go through those times too, this one’s an awesome one.
Thanks Consuelo. Yeah, I think we all go through the creative swings…
Great sky and I love the movement of the rushing waves.
I know just what you mean about the creative tide, I definitely notice a cycle to these things and commented only recently that the tide was currently out!
Hope the mojo returns soon. In the meantime, I’m more than happy to look at archive shots.
Maybe it’s these tides that mkaes it even more exciting and special when the mojo arrives :) Thanks AC!
You have a fantastic eye you have a gift
Hi Richard. Thank you very much :)
I feel the same way…maybe we all need some new kind of challenge.
Yeah… *sigh* maybe so…
Amber, so amazing! Love the tone and feel!!!
Thank you!!
Gorgeous photo – and I understand the ebb and flow in blogging… just divert your attention to something else and it’ll return in time of its own accord.
:)
That is wise advice and I did kinda do that…picked up my brush for the first time in ages. Thanks Val! :)
