Seescape seascapes
Above/featured: Crossing Cook Strait in winter mist and fog, catching first sight of New Zealand’s South Island – 14 July 2012 (450D).
Some time ago, the challenge was people’s take on cityscapes. The present challenge looks out to the water, and while lakes are nice, I like the opportunities afforded by the ocean or the sea. The word “seascape” is a noun whose definition is “a view of an expanse of sea.” I’m pleased to present the following “seescapes” with the allure of open waters in mind:
- Australia: HMAS Sydney I memorial, Sydney
- Australia: Port Arthur, Sydney
- Canada: Strait of Georgia, Salish Sea
- England: Dover Cliffs from English Channel
- Germany: Bodensee (Lake Constance)
- Germany: Wadden Sea mud flats
- Hong Kong: outlying islands in South China Sea
- Italy: Ligurian Sea from Cinque Terre
- New Zealand: Akaroa Harbour and the Pacific
- New Zealand: Milford Sound and the Pacific
- South Africa: where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans meet
- Sweden: Stockholm archipelago, Baltic Sea
- USA: Puget Sound, Salish Sea
Meere Seen – mehre Seen – mehr sehen1.

1 I used the German words for lakes (Seen), seas (Meere), more (mehr), and the verb ‘to see’ (sehen) to pun the phrase “seeing more” in German.
I made all pictures above in 2007, 2008, 2012, 2015, and 2017 with Canon cameras: PowerShot A510 (A510), Rebel XSi or EOS 450D (450D) and EOS 6D mark1 (6D1); alle Fotoaufnahmen sind mit Wasserzeichen versehen worden.

Hi and thanks, Tina. At the risk of looking similar from any location around the world, it was an interesting exercise to show something a little different in each “seescape.” Thanks again for your lovely comment!

Incredibly beautiful seascapes, Henry! Thank you for the glorious tour around the world. Do I have a favorite? I have to say Stockholm then!

Thanks, Ann Christine; I’m glad you liked the Stockholm picture. It’s always fun and interesting to rummage through the archives, and because I rarely delete anything, the pain of going through many pictures yields the reward of rediscovering and highlighting beautiful and interesting pictures. Thanks again for your kind comment!

Fantastic shots, Henry. Beautiful gallery. I was intrigued by your last shot. Was it an interesting ride? We’ve taken the ferry from Vancouver to Victoria, but not that one.

Hi and thanks, Patti. It’s a straight forward daytrip to Bremerton from Seattle. Bremerton is a smallish town of about 40-thousand, but I think Bremerton has interesting art galleries, shops, and local food. I’d like to go back and spend more than the 2 to 3 hours I had that day before I had to swing back across Puget Sound to make my appointment back in Seattle. Because I like open water, the ferry ride itself is a beautiful one across the waters of Puget Sound; it’s “only” 1-hour each way. A car might have been useful, but I hopped on the ferry as a foot passenger and I had no problem getting around. Thanks again for your kind comment and for stopping by!
