Autumn, Seagulls, Sand and Stars
Posted on October 4, 2014
Thank you for visiting my blog.
Summer came and went so quickly. Now, and I still really can’t believe it, fall arrived. To adequately welcome this season with all its colors and changes in weather, I decided to take my camera and spend an afternoon in Onset, Massachusetts, near Cape Cod. The place I usually visit is the perfect spot to forget the day, enjoying the events the shore has to offer. This could be rain, fog, wind, or the mellow, warm glow of the setting autumn sun. Seagulls and other shorebirds seemed to be having a good time watching a guy with a tripod and a camera, mesmerized by the early autumn spectacle performed by the many shorebirds. Not with words, however, with this entire scenery, the owner of this season clearly made a statement. Fall is surely here.
As usual, without too many words, here are some of my photos. Hopefully, you will enjoy these.

Freezing Glow at the Coast
Posted on February 20, 2014
The coldest glow I ever experienced
A couple of days ago I took a quick ride to the nearby coast at Onset, MA. The day was just about to end and I thought I would not have enough light for any photos. Still wanted to look at the sea and listen to the waves for a while. When I arrived at the iced up beach I realized that the setting sun painted colorful reflections on the very calm sea. As it grew darker the reflections changed from a soft pink to a very strong dark red. This did not last very long and right after the last piece of red vanished it got very dark and super cold. My fingers were numb despite some great wool gloves and I carefully moved the tripod with the camera back to the car across the frozen beach.
