Not so common to see wakes these days, especially Not so common to see wakes these days, especially this early in the morning! Makes me appreciate even more how pretty they look meeting up with their reflections & forming the checkerboard pattern!
Forget about the sky; I can't get over how colorfu Forget about the sky; I can't get over how colorful the water looks this morning with each of the small waves reflecting both the orange sunrise side and the dark westside!
Beautiful checkerboard pattern in waves & their re Beautiful checkerboard pattern in waves & their reflections. And can you spot the birds' wakes?

Another amazing sunrise this morning, making it ve Another amazing sunrise this morning, making it very clear that when you want to determine water color as one measure for water quality, you really need to pay attention to how you do it. What you see here is not what you want to measure :D

I'm always fascinated by the different wavelengths I'm always fascinated by the different wavelengths of the waves vs the sand ripples. How come the ripples are so much shorter? One of these days I will really have to read up on this (unless someone helps me out @coastalgeology.cau.kiel @metroproleten? :)) #kiel #kielerförde #kommwirguckenwasser #letsgowavewatching #sandripples #coastalgeology #coastalgeomorphology
Fascinating how different parts of the water look Fascinating how different parts of the water look so different. Some dark because areas are more rough because there are wind-generated ripples and waves there.
Other areas are brighter because their smoother surface reflects the clouds lit by the raising sun.
And then again darker areas closer to us where we can actually look into the water and make out structures on the seafloor. Only when looking at water at a steep angle can we look inside, because of a phenomenon called "total reflection". It's this kind of stuff we learn about in high school where nobody tells us what it'll be relevant for in real life. Wave watching, duh!

Not a lot of water in Kiel fjord today, but: pooln Not a lot of water in Kiel fjord today, but: poolnoodle waves! When the water is very shallow compared to the wavelength, waves deform into this weird shape with very long troughs and these bulging crests that look as if poolnoodles were being pushed towards the shore

First "snow" of the winter for me :) First "snow" of the winter for me :)
The way I feel about being in isolation changed dr The way I feel about being in isolation changed drastically when I brought wave watching into my livingroom. Now I am actually quite content on my sofa, looking at the porthole and the view... Nice change when compared to yesterday when I really felt isolated and not happy. Was it just being creative today that turned things around for me? I don't know, but I'm happy with the result in any case

I'm quite enjoying my daily sunrises. Except that I'm quite enjoying my daily sunrises. Except that they keep getting earlier and earlier... But after a lot of mental gymnastics I figured out that "spring forward, fall backward" tonight is working quite in my favour 😂
