This photo was taken from the charming Haga Nygata pedestrian street looking up Västra Skansgatan street looking towards Skansparken public park in the historic Haga District of Gothenburg, Sweden.  My wife and I enjoyed their famous freshly baked cinnamon buns!

Cross-section of one of the few remaining natural live oak tree barriers on Oak Island, North Carolina.  Most of these windswept oaks and wax myrtle shrub protective barriers have long disappeared due to beach home development.

Walking through a door

Black And White Photography, Marcus, Photography
Walking Through a Door | Samarkand | 2025

Life is a journey that ends not with fear, but with curiosity. In the final moment, we are walking through a door, leaving behind everything we have ever known. No one can tell us what lies beyond, yet the unknown has always been where new discoveries begin. Perhaps there are wonders we cannot imagine, familiar faces, endless peace, or something greater than words can describe. Until that moment comes, all we can do is wonder—and when the time arrives, step forward with quiet curiosity to see what waits on the other side.

Sandbar Fishing and Wave Theory

Anglers fishing on a sandbar, accessed by boat, between Oak Island and Holden Beach, North Carolina in the Intracoastal Waterway.  As the incoming tide starts to consume the sandbar, I found the aerial wave/water/sand patterns fascinating. I looked up wave theory, it goes pretty deep (pun intended)!

Cheers,
