See how the blues are so much lighter left of the See how the blues are so much lighter left of the pier, even stripey? That's because the structure & the moored boats disturb the wave field and lower surface roughness shows up as lighter blues. Can you see the edge where the pier's influence ends, and the stripes associated with the biggest obstacles?

So much to see here! The wakes in the foreground, So much to see here! The wakes in the foreground, made by a boat long gone. The wake in the background where we still see the boat. The Oslo ferry. Gusts of wind leading to higher surface roughness, making the water look a darker shade of blue. All that bio stuff right in the foreground. Very pretty clouds. I just love all the colors! Vitamin Sea is the best.

Never thought that would happen, but it's really happening! Thanks, Kiel, you were a great home. Possibly the best, but who knows, Bjärred is definitely doing a good job competing for that title....

I love interesting coastlines, like here with the I love interesting coastlines, like here with the different high water marks visible on the beach, and clearly different zones with more and less vegetation in the water, too. Also how sand is deposited in some stretches (may even be artificially deposited?) and not in others. And that weird wave breaker thingy, what's that about?

From here on it's only frolicking on the beach, then 574m of awesome wave watching on #långabryggan, and then I'm in the water! :)

I am always fascinated how it's not just him, bobbing up and down, making waves, but how the leash itself also makes waves. And how different those two types of waves look: round from the bobbing, but straight from the leash. Not surprising maybe, but pretty cool!
