So I’m on my way to London to do something new. This afternoon I’m presenting some of my research on the potential socioeconomic benefits of ocean energy to the UK economy to a group of MPs at Westminster.

A laptop on a train table, with the opening slide of a presentation. There is a picture of a report and the title:

What is the value of innovative offshore
renewable energy deployment to the
UK economy?

A view of the Northumbrian coast for (not very) #wavyWednesday

View of the calm sea on a cloudy day, in the foreground grass, with a rocky headland to the right.

I’m not saying this wave is throwing up an image of a bunny in the spray, but I’m not NOT saying that, either!
#WavyWednesday

Green ocean water, and a wave crashing among dark brown rocks sticking up out of the water. We see a light green curl of wave on one side and churning white water splashes thrown up all across the image and a little against the rocks.
The lighting is a little low, suggesting an overcast day.
The biggest white splash of water above the wave has protrusions and lighter and darker sections, which can suggest shapes of other things, like clouds are known to do.

Today at Venice Beach, Half Moon Bay.

A lone gull, wings spread, flying over the ocean right near the beach on an overcast day. The ocean is pretty calm, with just small waves breaking at the shore.

This is one of my favorite effects of ocean water- the bands of different shades of color between us and the horizon.

#MeerMittwoch

A view of a calm ocean, with a flat gray-blue sky above the horizon. The water is banded with differently-colored sections, some green, some blue, and a silvery gray strip way out by the horizon. There is a small wave forming in the foreground, which looks a darker blue as it’s beginning to rise. There are a few greenish sparkles of light on the wave and some swells behind it, and a couple of very small splashes of white water in spots.
Just a shot of the ocean, with horizontal ‘stripes’ of different colors and shades across it.

Here's a memory of #RyeHarbour for #MeerMittwoch. Taken 9 years ago tomorrow! 😱 On that day, I had no idea that exactly a year later, kiddo would enter the world. Crazy.

A vertical, high-angle shot captures a shingle beach receding towards the sea under a clear blue sky. In the foreground, four weathered wooden groynes stand upright in a line, stretching from the shore into the gently lapping waves. The beach is a mix of pebbles and stones in shades of brown, grey, and ochre. Small waves with white foam break softly on the shingle, and the sea beyond appears calm.

Today started out grey and cold, but it sure got lovely later.
#MeerMittwoch #SeaWednesday #WavyWednesday #today #BirdsOfMastodon

Lot of birds soaring over the ocean right next to the shore at Half Moon Bay State Beach. The waves are very gentle. There are a few streak of white clouds in the blue sky, and the ocean is a dark blue.

Duck Family (in their natural habitat)

#Birds #Nature #WavyWednesday #Photography

In the center-left, a brown duck hen stands in very shallow water. To its right, a cluster of six small ducklings swim. 

Gentle ripples spread across the water's surface. The water itself is a muted blue, reflecting the sky and appearing tranquil with minimal disturbances. 

In the foreground, out of focus, are several green reeds extending upwards from the bottom of the frame, adding a natural border to the scene.

Tienhovense Plassen

#WavyWednesday #Photography

The surface of a body of water, under a partly cloudy sky. The water exhibits a deep blue hue, with lighter blue areas reflecting the sky and some darker, more opaque sections. The surface of the water is not perfectly still but has numerous small, rippling waves that create a textured pattern across the entire frame. 

To confuse the unimaginative, this photo has been rotated 180 degrees.

Close up shot of a wave crashing, surrounded by white water. Rounded roiling white water behind the wave, and flat white foaming water in front of it, bracketing the small violently crashing curl of wave. 

On one side the curl is closing, creating a rounded white roil of water. On the other side, the wave is still cresting and curling over, green and white curling shapes tipping over the top and starting to form droplets and puffs and splatters of water overhanging the wave beneath. The wave must be pulling up sand, because the wave under the curl is very dark at a few points, dark greenish browns in the shadow of the curling water above them. They almost look like cave entrances under the wave’s curling top.

The image is a landscape photograph featuring multiple layers of rolling hills extending into the distance under a hazy sky. The color palette is predominantly muted blues and grays, contributing to an overall cool tone. The foreground shows silhouetted tree lines, with some indistinct shapes that could be structures or open fields. As the hills recede, they become progressively lighter and less distinct due to atmospheric perspective and mist. On one of the more distant hilltops, a tower is visible. The lighting is soft and diffuse, due to an overcast day.
