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.

When the Atlantic Catches Fire
The cold at Cappagh Beach the morning I made this photo was the sort that makes you question every life choice that led you to a dark car park before dawn. The sunrise wasn’t that great but shortly before we left, the sun cracked through a gap in the cloud and turned the entire Atlantic into molten gold, and suddenly the cold didn’t matter much.
I love how the backlight picks out a single breaking wave on the rocks mid-frame, giving the whole scene a focal point that isn’t the sun itself. Kerry mornings like this are why alarm clocks exist.

Hype for the Future 65F: Historic City of Saint Augustine, Florida
Introduction Though Saint Augustine was not settled as part of British Colonial America but as part of New Spain in early European imperialism, the community of Saint Augustine has since been transformed by the Flagler heritage representative of the entirety of the modern State of Florida, and especially Northern Florida. History Founded by the Spanish in 1565, Saint Augustine has largely been identified by the iconic structures associated with the community, including the Ponce de León […] -
Hype for the Future 64F: Boothbay Area, Maine
Introduction The Towns of Boothbay and Boothbay Harbor are largely associated with the summer season, both along the Atlantic Ocean with Boothbay slightly further inland (north) within Lincoln County, Maine. Though Monhegan Island and its associated plantation may be more accessible from Knox County to the east, the island area is also considered part of Lincoln County, albeit separately identified from the Boothbay communities. Boothbay Harbor is situated to the south of Boothbay and is […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/01/03/hype-for-the-future-64f-boothbay-area-maine/

Hype for the Future 64D: Lincoln County, Maine (North of Boothbay)
Introduction Lincoln County, Maine, is located partly at the western end of the Waldo Patent and otherwise in the vicinity of the Atlantic Ocean, bounded by Knox County to the east, Sagadahoc County to the west, Kennebec County to the northwest, and Waldo County to the northeast. The county seat of Lincoln County is the community of Wiscasset, and much of the county is traversed by way of United States Route 1 along the Atlantic Ocean. On the eastern edge of the county is the Town of […] -
Hype for the Future 64C: Southern Knox County, Maine
Introduction To the south of the City of Rockland, the Penobscot Bay gives way to the more open Atlantic Ocean in the relatively more southerly immediate vicinity. With the transition from Rockland to the Atlantic Ocean comes additional islands, particularly the aforementioned island locations, as well as the Saint George Peninsula to the west of the Penobscot Bay. Saint George Peninsula In the southern fringe of the City of Rockland are the Sail Power and Steam Museum and Gallery Fukurou, […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/01/03/hype-for-the-future-64c-southern-knox-county-maine/

Vortex of Survival: Baitball Frenzy on a North Carolina Shipwreck
We launched with Atlantis Charters (trip organized by Gotham Divers) and headed east into open Atlantic Ocean. This corridor of wrecks concentrates life: currents stack plankton, baitfish ride the structure, and predators cruise the edges. The top of the deck was approximately 85 ft deep, allowing for slight variation. The main action was positioned between 60 and 80 ft.

The Hunt: How the Vortex Forms
At first, the baitfish flashed in loose silver sheets above the deck. The jacks pressed in from the perimeter. The school cinched into a sphere. Then, it formed a spiraling column—a living vortex—hovering just over the main deck. Strikes came from the flanks and below, using the flat steel as a base to pin the bait upward. The cycle repeated: circle, squeeze, break, reset.
Likely predators: jacks commonly seen on NC wrecks (e.g., greater amberjack or almaco jack).
Tactics observed: herding, pin-wheel circling, quick surge strikes from cover.Why Wrecks Amplify Predation
- Structure = leverage. Flat deck and vertical faces constrain escape routes and keep the baitball suspended just above steel, where predators can tighten the circle.
- Eddies & seams. The wreck’s wake creates small eddies that hold plankton, drawing in baitfish and the jacks that hunt them.
- Refuge–trap effect. The wreck feels like shelter to small fish, so it concentrates bait over hard structure; predators use the same edges and flat deck to corner and compress the school—turning “refuge” into a trap (an ecological trap).
Camera & Lighting Setup
- Camera: Panasonic GH5
- Lens: 14–42mm kit zoom paired with Nauticam wet wide lens (for fast switches to true wide FOV)
- Lights: Bigblue video lights for clean fill on the baitball’s outer skin and to hold color on the wreck details
- Approach: I stayed low to avoid splitting the school. Just hooover on the main deck of the ship wreck
Dive Conditions & Safety Notes
- Run: ~1 hour offshore from Atlantic Beach, NC
- Depth: ~80 ft to the deck; mid-water action above the superstructure
- Exposure: 5 mm wetsuit was comfortable
- Awareness: Mind surge along hull edges; track gas and NDLs closely at this depth.

Much of the ocean is getting really hot. No one knows why. :
On social media, instead of trading selfies, scientists are posting screenshots of ocean heat maps and wonky-looking charts and tables of thermal history.
