THOR'S WELL

8/15/2017

If only one could let go of the handlebars and release the wings upon the wind. Wandering what life would be like if you were truly free and could let go.--Wallace R. Morris III

Sitting on the edge of the Oregon coast, a gaping, seemingly bottomless sinkhole swallows the unbroken stream of seawater around it. But Thor’s Well, as the natural wonder is known, is not bottomless. The well is actually a hole in the rock that appears to drain water from the ocean. Even if the well is not quite as magic as it seems, it still manages to produce amazing sights

The site is most spectacular at high tide, or during storms when water washes violently over the rocks and funnels into the hole. During these sudden torrents, unsuspecting visitors to the site run the risk of being swept right into the maelstrom. Regardless of the risks, photographers and nature lovers continue to flock to the stunning fountain to see the aggressive waters that live up to their godly namesake’s stormy personality. Enjoy!!!

ROCKS, WATER AND TIME

Converting an image to black and white gives it a dramatic and mysterious feel. I was going to erase this shot but instead I decided to edit it and upload it here. There's nothing special about the composition, as a matter of fact, I did not care about a perfectly composed shot. I just wanted to capture the moment, to enjoy it while it was happening and that's what I did. Enjoy!!!

I always love when bad wheather is moving in, mainly because of the fast moving clouds and the drama that they bring to the sky. Most of the time I'll do a conversion to black and white to take advantage and bring out the details in the sky. This one I took as the weather was moving in on my spot, enjoy!!!

For this one I was attending a long exposure class with a fellow photographer near Aguirre, a small town in southern Puerto Rico. The weather was particularly sunny with a chance of rain. We were monitoring the weather when suddenly, a thunderstorm moved in. Just before it poured down, I managed to snap this one. There's a lot of drama in that sky! Enjoy!!!

BUG LIGHT

Portland Breakwater Lighthouse was built in 1875 and is one of Maine's most elegant lighthouses. Though modeled on an ancient Greek monument, it was built with plates of cast iron. It was dubbed "Bug Light" due to its small size. Enjoy!!!
