  1. Sunrise

    I kicked off my Labor Day early this morning by driving out to the ocean and taking some sunrise pics. I went to Salisbury Beach on the Massachusetts side of the MA/NH state line and caught the actual sunrise. After that I drove over to Plum Island. I usually turn left when I cross the bridge onto the island and go to the lighthouse. This time I turned right and went to the Parker River Wildlife Refuge. There is a beach on the ocean there and hiking trails through the salt marshes just inland from the Atlantic. 

    There were a lot of people at Salisbury watching the sun. More than I’ve ever come across on one of these little trips. It was probably because the sun came up at 6:14am or so. The last time I did a sun rise visit I think the sun came up just after 5:00. Big difference. The only people on the Plum Island beach were a middle aged couple who were clearly on a date. I tried very hard not to draw attention to myself and thus distract them from what I’m sure was a lovely morning. The trails I walked on had a bunch of people too but they were all using binoculars while I was using cameras. They were bird watching. 

    I took some digital pics with my Z5, I took some 35mm with my N90, and I took some 120 with my Lubitell. I shipped the film out for developing today along with three rolls I shot in August. Will I get the scans back before we leave for California next weekend? Not likely, but I’ll chose optimism and say I hope so.

    For now… digital pics.

    We start with Salisbury Beach and the start of Labor Day 2026.

    And there we have it. My morning pics. The highlights of the digital pics at least. The full album is here on Flickr. When I get the scans back I’ll add them to the album. Hopefully I’ll have them by the end of the week so I don’t have to rely on a hotel’s wifi to upload them. Fingers crossed.

  6. Hype for the Future 247/284: Maryland’s Eastern Shore

    Introduction The Eastern Shore of the State of Maryland is a notable area east of the Susquehanna River and Chesapeake Bay in the State of Maryland and is most commonly associated with Cecil, Kent, Queen Anne’s, Caroline, Talbot, Dorchester, Wicomico, Somerset, and Worcester Counties. While Kent County is associated with the extreme southwestern portion of the Greater Philadelphia area, the more southerly counties of the State of Maryland are associated with rural communities and larger […]

  10. Hype for the Future 69J: New York and Philadelphia Compared

    Introduction New York and Philadelphia are two of the most substantially populated cities in the Northeast Megalopolis and specifically within the Mid-Atlantic portion of the region. While New York is further north and largely associated with the old New Amsterdam and significant Dutch settlement, Philadelphia is located somewhat further south, along the Delaware River, and traditionally identified as New Sweden prior to Dutch control of the former region as part of the Mid-Atlantic region […]

  12. [Paywall -- full text in post] Scientists puzzled by colder deep water temperatures in #GulfOfMaine

    by Nicole Ogrysko, Maine Public May 15, 2024

    "About a dozen years ago, the Gulf of Maine experienced an #OceanHeatwave unlike any other.

    "Today, scientists are puzzling over new data that suggest the gulf may be experiencing another kind of
    climate shock.

    "Data collected from buoys placed in the Gulf of Maine show that over the last six months, deep water
    temperatures are noticeably lower than the long-term average.

    "'It’s not just cold in the deep waters right now, it’s really cold. And it’s fresher, it’s really fresher than it’s been,' said Nick Record, a senior scientist with Bigelow Laboratory. 'These are very unusual conditions, so I think there’s a lot that we can learn by watching how the year unfolds.'

    "The Gulf of Maine is still one of the fastest warming oceans on the planet, Record said. The ocean #heatwave that hit the Gulf of Maine back in 2012 served as a prime example of the kind of surface temperature warming that much of the #AtlanticOcean has been experiencing.

    "But #ClimateChange creates more unpredictable conditions, and Record said the Gulf of Maine may be experiencing another kind of #ClimateShock, similar to a late season #frost.

    "'In some ways if we’re just expecting long term warming, we could be surprised when, even temporarily, we get these weird reversals to a cold situation. The more we can condition ourselves to think about surprises, what they might mean for us, the more we can be proactive and more be adaptive,' Record said.

    "It’s not clear how long this pattern will hold, Record said. Because colder water makes for prime feeding habitat for critically endangered North Atlantic #RightWhales, Record said he’ll watch for whether right whales return to the Gulf of Maine in larger numbers this summer than they have in recent years.

    "Colder deep water may also change conditions for the #lobster population. Deep water temperatures affect the timing of lobster molts, the presence of shell disease and other population impacts, Record said.'"

  13. The #GulfOfMaine had one of its hottest years in 2023, part of a worldwide trend

    New Hampshire Public Radio | By Patrick Whittle, Associated Press
    Published April 29, 2024 at 4:37 PM EDT

    "The sea off New England, already warming faster than most of the world's oceans, had one of its hottest years on record in 2023.

    "The Gulf of Maine, which abuts New England and Canada, had an annual sea surface temperature nearly 2 degrees Fahrenheit above normal last year, scientists with the Portland, Maine-based Gulf of #Maine Research Institute said Monday.

    "The institute said it was the fifth-warmest year on record for the Gulf of Maine, a body of water critical to commercial fishing and other maritime industries."

  14. ICYMI - From 2018

    Why Is the #GulfOfMaine Warming Faster Than 99% of the #Ocean?

    The Gulf of Maine’s location at the meeting point of two major currents, as well as its shallow depth and shape, makes it especially susceptible to warming.

    This is pretty incredible. This is new footage that was released a few months ago.

    Stumbled onto this due to the missing submarine of Titanic tourists that is currently being searched for. $250K a seat.
