Winter Turn

January 5, 2022 by Greg Molyneux

14mm winter salt marsh photograph at blue hour. Snow and ice dominate the dormant marsh grasses and tide pools as restorative pastels of pink, blue, and purple paint the whole scene.

Feels like an age since I’ve made eyes with a proper winter scene on the salt marsh. Almost forgot how profoundly calming it can be, even with biting temperatures further sharpened by wind. Let this be the start of a great year of winter photography for southern New Jersey!

Roll It Over

June 24, 2017 by Greg Molyneux

Sepia landscape photo of storm clouds over the bay.

Monday, June 19, 2017, saw an outbreak of severe thunderstorms fire up across the Mid-Atlantic. Eager as ever to make some photographs, Weather NJ’s, Jonathan Carr and I made way for Surf City Sunset Park. While things looked good at the outset the storms lost steam as they charged their way across New Jersey toward […]

Weather or Not

March 10, 2017 by Greg Molyneux

Dramatic cloud photo as snow squall storm clouds streak across the marsh.

Strange weather has brought itself to New Jersey. In typical Mid-Atlantic March fashion we’ve seen all four seasons this month and we’ve yet to cross the Ides of March. Yesterday we saw temps approach 70 while today much of the state was greeted with slippery roads and heavy wet snowfall. Once this morning’s system moved […]

False Spring

February 24, 2017 by Greg Molyneux

Sunset photo with colorful clouds along the Long Beach Island bayside.

It’s been warm, folks. Strangely warm for February. Temperatures have ranged in the low- to mid-70s the past two days and it has many wondering if spring is already be upon us. Its tempting to give into the notion with nascent buds and bulbs beginning to show themselves early around much of the Mid-Atlantic. And […]

Golden Glow Before the Snow

February 8, 2017 by Greg Molyneux

Golden hour photo lights the sky over calm bay water.

You could say this photograph is the golden calm before the white storm. The spring tease before the winter freeze. Today southern New Jersey danced with the upper 60s but make no mistake—winter is coming. Here in the Mid-Atlantic we find ourselves sandwiched between unseasonably warm air, an arctic air mass, and a boatload of […]

Before You Go

November 20, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

Golden hour photo of a Japanese Maple with autumn red leaves and smooth bokeh.

After last night’s negative tilt trough supreme wrought a 30 degree temperature drop; rain, snow, and sleet; and gusts of winds the Anemoi would be proud of in the span of roughly three hours these leaves are now gone. But 24 hours ago they were still here, so hey, maybe almost does count? Such is […]

Still the Sirens Call

September 3, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

Fiery sunset ignites with stunning marsh tributary reflection.

Listen with care to this, now, and a god will arm your mind. Square in your ship’s path are Seirênês, crying beauty to bewitch men coasting by; woe to the innocent who hears that sound! Lady Kirkê, in spite of her transformative machinations that rendered men into swine, offered warning to Odysseus when discussing possible […]

Transition

September 2, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

Sunset photo of a pink cumulus cloud over marsh.

The calendar has flipped. September is here and with it meteorological fall. You see for meteorologists—of which I am not—the seasons align a bit different from the astronomical seasons of which we’re all quite familiar. Among mets winter runs December 1–February 28; spring occurs March 1–May 30; summer spans June 1—August 31; with fall happening […]

Circular Motion

August 31, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

Low key square format black and white photo of a circular form sculpture.

Circular motion will be something of a recurring theme as we spiral toward the 2016 Labor Day Weekend along U.S. the eastern seaboard. Recently named Tropical Storm Hermine is spooling up in the Gulf of Mexico as she creeps slowly toward the Florida Panhandle. While it’s hardly locked down there’s growing consensus that after initial […]

Tumultuous Sky

August 9, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

Storm photograph of a sunset thunderstorm over Manahawkin Bay with lightning bolt.

Saturday, August 6, 2016, the unexpected came to pass. Mrs. and Mr. Weather NJ came by to scoop me for a little weekend dinner action on Long Beach Island. We brought along the camera equipment just in case the sunset would pop. We were cutting it close on time and originally decided that Cedar Run […]
