Don't you hate it when you miss the big set?

Jay knows what I'm talking about.

Chercher un abri contre la tempête

Spotted yesterday at Hirtle's.

Let's see how badly google translate did with the blog post title, anyone?

Posts will be sporadic over the holiday period, hope ya'll have a good break!

Can't get enough of that setting sun

...especially when it's shining through a wave. ^_^

Goin' down the road

Upper Kingsburg Road. Two lobster boats (tiny white dots) can be seen in Rose Bay in the foreground. Believe it or not, the land mass in the distance is the Aspotogan Peninsula!

The things dreams are made of

Great light, offshore wind, no crowds. Ah, bliss.

Rutschin' on the dump road

Spotted on the Mullock Rd. (dump road), I'm hoping to snap as many patches of brake burns as I can before the roads are covered in snow...

Crowded?

Depends who you ask. Locals who love this spot died a little inside Nov. 11th when upwards of 15 people descended...things were quieter when I arrived.

Crowded? Perhaps by South Shore standards, anywhere else in the world, eh-no.

Thanks for all the views!

First off, thanks to all the new and returning readers. I am happy to announce the 'ole blog just surpassed 15,000 views! Shout out to my regular readers in Washington state, Vancouver, Ottawa, PEI, Halifax and those on the South Shore, thanks for sticking with me.

After a long drought of brake burn pics, here's a nice patch I spotted in Simpson's Corner a couple weekends ago. Enjoy!

Magic hour

More gorgeous magic hour light shining through the waves, it was easy to get nice shots that evening!

What's on this weekend? A wack of Xmas Teas!

Sunny waves at sunset

The setting sun created some gorgeous backdrops for the two surfers in the water that afternoon. Magic hour was in full effect that day.

Swell's a comin'

It's that time of the year again, fall surf season is upon us.

I get twitchy this time of year. Every vehicle with something on the roof gets me anxious.

"Who is that? I don't recognize the boards..."
"Are they heading to the secret spot!?!"

True, there are more surfers from the city showing up at our local spots. But in the grand scheme of things, there are still plenty of waves to go around.

I captured some nice evening light in the above shot, more shots from this location to follow later this week. Enjoy!

Fall colours

Another video from a perfect day at Crescent Beach. I love the double take I did when I spotted the Porsche, had to turn around and pass it!

Why we buggy

I had a grand old time ripping up and down the beach that day with Travis.

This video was one of my faster runs down the length of the beach, enjoy!

Holy ship, it's a cruise...

Nice evening light hitting the hill at Hirtle's, can't get enough of those clouds!

Stormy lines

I love the way the cloud lines and yellow lines on the road trick your brain in this shot. ^_^

Earl shots - pt. 3

So frustrating to watch these bigguns roll in from shore...and me without a jet ski!

I tried auto white balancing this shot in Gimp, which is why it's not as dark as the two previous shots.

Earl shots - pt. 2

Another shot from Sept. 4th, hours after the eye of the storm had passed over the South Shore.

Its name was Earl

Saturday afternoon, hours after the eye of Earl passed over the South Shore.

More shots to follow in the days to come!
