Photograph Friday: Baycam Favorites from Summer and Fall 2018

 

The Estuary Program’s Morro Bay webcam, or Baycam as we call it, has what some might consider the perfect job. No matter the day or the hour, it watches life unfold on the bay, without any particular goal in mind.  It observes the scene as clouds move, fog rolls in and out, the moon and sun chase each other across the sky, and boats bob and dance as the tides change. It sees every single sunrise and sunset, capturing photographs along the way.

In today’s Photograph Friday post, we’ll share some of our favorite Baycam pictures from this summer and early fall.

Sometimes, a thick fog comes in and completely obscures the Rock.

Often, that fog rolls back out to sea and people head out on the water. How many paddlers and boaters can you find in this photograph? We lost count.)

Sunsets over the bay can be bring both bright light and an abundance of long shadows.

Many sunsets, though, glow with a range of warm and cool colors that reflect in the ripples below.
