Wave Ride

One of the very few advantages of high surf conditions....And, the photographers love it!

Power Steering: Appreciating the talent that frequently is overlooked as these guys "turn on a dime". No rudder, no steering wheel just a whole lot of body English! Nice turn....

Juno Surfer

Juno Surfer, originally uploaded by Chris S Thorpe.
The surf's up along Juno and Jupiter's beachfront. That can mean only one thing...surfers (and photographers) flock to the beach. Showtime, however, seems to involve the same five or six surfers in spite of the fact that the waves are filled with folks "sitting" and "bobbing" on their boards! Fun to watch...

Back To School

It's official, schools are back in session. The local media is filled with those iconic "Back to School" images: backpack adorned tweens exiting a large yellow bus, parents waiting at suburban street corners,  and beaming attractive female teachers smiling in the front of a classroom (obviously prior to having cafeteria duty). So....I set out to find my own "back to school" image. I was struck by the peaceful scene of an empty beach on a rather perfect beach day in early September. Yes, indeed school is in session! Life is Good.

Sound Action

Racing on the Long Island Sound is always colorful. Life is Good! :-)

People Watching

A little know fact: Seagulls actually enjoy checking out beach goers with an eye for the latest summer fashion.
