Well, I got to see my ‘sea smoke’ this morning. The olympic-sized pool at the fitness center next door is steaming like crazy — and it’s snowing. We’ve got about an inch of sleet and snow on the ground. It’s not much, compared to what’s just north of us, but it certainly has given me an appreciation for what it takes to create this winter images.

Here’s a shot of the Gulf from Galveston. Too bad I can’t get there from here; there’s too much ice everywhere, so the Causeway over to the Island is closed.

That’s a lovely scene and were it not for your report of the weather could be taken for ordinary fog. I don’t think skidding off the causeway into the gulf is encouraged.

While we complain about certain winter weather events here in the northeast, they are expected and more or less routine with the occasional exception. In your neighborhood on the other hand there’s lots of difficulty and accidents to deal with…not to mention power outages. I don’t imagine many have wood heat to rely on. Sea smoke from a swimming pool! Now that’s something we’d not see here.

This is a fascinating way to photograph flowing water, my friend.

Thanks, Peter. I try to capture both the motion and some texture when I can. It does take some experimentation as flows are quite different from one time to another.

Beautiful – it’s full of movement, especially with the way the flow turns.

I like finding spots where the water changes direction…the more it does the merrier. Thanks, Ann!

It’s lovely and almost monochrome, but the extremely-subtle reddish highlights in the delicate structures at the top provide a startling reminder of the natural color. I like this very much.

I considered the conversion but decided to keep the subtle blueness of the cold. Thanks, Gary!

Nicely done. You’re really pushing into abstraction here.

By definition it is an abstract of the much larger landscape. I enjoy finding these smaller more intimate compositions from the bigger picture. Thanks.

You captured the motion beautifully … it’s coming right at the viewer!

Thanks, Denise. I positioned myself for the ‘s’ curve which put me right in front and the viewer too.
