A N.J. Brush with Hurricane Dorian

On By mvschulzeIn Adventure, Beach, Dogs, Jersey Shore, Photography, Summer, Weather6 Comments

From Island Beach State Park, 24 hours after the passing of Hurricane Dorian, the still angry sea proved alluring to the brave surfers, who were apparently exempt from the otherwise no swimming advisories.

Seaside Heights – Impressive Sky

On By mvschulzeIn Photography, sunset, Weather10 Comments

Recently, on May 20th, the late sunlit clouds over the Atlantic Ocean, were …awesome!

 

Of note …the actual sunset, a few minutes later, was one of the most dramatic we’ve ever seen. Clicking pictures while driving to the mainland, however,  was not going to happen.

NYC from the Hudson River – Exceptional Lighting

On By mvschulzeIn Buildings, New York City, Photography, Skyline photos11 Comments

Back last year, while returning by ferry from a day-trip to Manhattan, the lighting was awesome. Being the busy Christmas season of 2016, these images were saved in my computer until… now! Storms to the north and the late afternoon sun brightly shinning in the south-west accentuated the stunning view.

Whose woods these are I think I know. (mine)
His house is (…behind me) though;
He will not see me stopping here (?)
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

Images taken 10/13/15 and today, 2/5/16.

Monster Blizzard of 2016 – Images from the Day After

On By mvschulzeIn Art, New jersey, Photo, Photography, Pondering9 Comments

Snow, reaching depths of thirty inches (76 cm) or more was the product of this week-end’s winter storm. Driven for most of 24 hours by powerful north-east winds with the help of an astronomical full moon, disruption and damage was widespread and several major north-east cities were brought to a standstill. 

OK. Alright. Here’s my brief, photographic take on all this mayhem… from the Jersey Shore.
