“We know only too well that what we are doing is nothing more than a drop in the ocean. But if the drop were not there, the ocean would be missing something.”
― Mother Teresa

Local photographer Laurie Jensen shared this photo of the North Jetty in Humboldt Bay. Have you got an ocean image to share from our local area?

Is this from today?

Ocean photos from anytime Kym? Themes / guidelines, etc.?

PS – nice shot, I know this sounds morbid but I love watching the crabbing/fishing boats cross the bar in the winter.

Thank you Kym for sharing my photo. Its so awesome to feel the power of the ocean swells crashing on the Jettys, and the spray hitting your face. Makes me feel so alive!!!

When I was a kid, back in the 1950s, those beaches were known as Black Sands (now Little Black Sands) and North Beach (now Big Black Sands). Interesting how names change over time. I think the subdivision developers made the change.

We live in a gloriously beautiful place. Dangerous in many aspects but beautiful.

Not sure if it’s the people or the place that makes it so dangerous.

Classic overhead Camel…once a blue moon. Great size perspective with the guy on the inside wave. Not too many people out, looks like it could be 25-30 years ago.

Oh how I love the ocean. When I was working in Sac. I would just fill up with negative feelings from living there, and once a month I would drive to the ocean and just sit in the sand all day and by nightfall all the negative feelings I had brought with me would be cleansed from my body and mind.
