I took a walk the 14th of March and this is how the storm treated Monhegan. It was a typical Nor'easter. This storm lasted 2 days and the surf was high for 3. I will post the day 3 pictures later. Many of the pictures had to be deleted for water drops, sea spray on the lens or the contrast between the sky and surf blend. The camera captures the gist of the raw emotion the ocean is expressing but in no way captures the real emotion that a storm like this brings out in this person taking the pictures. I hope you enjoy these

The meadow is so full that the little pond area by the Vaughan house has expanded
This is Gull Pond, the waves were crashing over flooding the pond
The following pictures show the action there

More waterfalls
A wave had just crashed over Gull Rock, again...
This is what it looks like underneath one of those waves! Needless to say, I got soaked!

THANK YOU Lisa!! While taking the shots of Gull Rock from Gull Pond area, weren't you concerned about getting broad-sided when you weren't looking? Fantastic viewpoint!
ReplyDeleteyou are a good photographer. I almost can smell the salt, the seaplants and feel the wind and water in the face.
