Waves and Birds — Crying Sea Gull
Although there have been few winter storms in California this year, occasionally high surf is generated by winds far out to sea. Several weeks ago I saw a high surf advisory and traveled to Asilomar beach, an area south of Pacific Grove, to try and capture some waves. There seemed to be as many interesting birds as waves, so I will post a few pictures over the next several days.

Canada and Alaska 2011–Kachemak Bay Black and White
The dark clouds over the bay contrasted with the snow on the shoulders of the mountains across the bay. The extreme contrasts made this a good candidate for black and white. Homer, Alaska, 2011.
