Brittle stars are among the many organisms scientists looked for in benthic trawls during the the 2004 Russian-American Long-Term Census of the Arctic (RUSALCA) mission. The 2009 RUSALCA mission set sail from Nome, Alaska on the Russian Research Vessel Professor Khromov on August 22, for a 40-day voyage into the Bering Strait and northwards to the Pacific side of the Arctic Ocean.

It was the moment when the sun kissed the ocean beach at the horizon. A new day has come in the far East coast :)

Right after the big winter storm blew past, I ran down to Ocean Beach on the west end of San Francisco, and got a few shots of the sun, the rain, and the spectacular clouds and waves blowing around. I love the silhouette of the person walking dogs in the foreground, too. Best viewed large - click on "All Sizes" above to get a better view.

Goes to show you what you can do with a good 'ol 50mm lens... :-)
