Blue & Gold And A New Year.
While many(most?) were still warm in their beds, the New Year dawned blue and magical along the rocky New Hampshire coast.
This, the first image, in fact the first press of the shutter for 2015, is but a 30 second glimpse of the enchanting twilight.
16°F At First Light Of The New Year.
Soon, blue was overtaken by gold as the sun appeared on the horizon.
The icy Atlantic lapping at my feet, brilliant rays over rocky coast, I eagerly await the year to come.

what a great start to the year!
These are amazing – happy new year! I hope to share some new photos soon – my camera was delayed, but will FINALLY be here tomorrow! 🙂
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year!
Thank you very much, Marie.
all i can say is brrrrr-eautiful. thanks for sharing. at the risk of sounding like a wimp, better you than me! we are at -4 °C (24.8 °F) which is plenty cold enough for me. but a brilliant way to start the new year, for sure. thanks for sharing. 😉
Thanks!
So I probably shouldn’t invite you to come stand int the icy water some morning? 😀
lol. you could ask. i just probably would say no thanks.
It’s funny you say that. The highest turn out when I, along with another outstanding local photographer I know, have jointly shared, via out fan pages, kind of as an invite to an impromptu meet-up for a sunrise shoot both happened on days when it was well below zero.
Now maybe that’s because neither of us share our intended shooting locations very often, and our ever growing fan base thinks “If Jeff and Jim are going to be in the same place on the same morning it must be worth going,” or it could just as easily be that people crazy enough to be out on the seacoast in such cold like to stick together and share their psychosis.
Great photography Jeff, Happy New Year to you.
Happy New Year, Bill. Let’s hope it’s a great one for both of us!
Just beautiful! My favorite is the one with the sun in it. Happy New Year!!
What a beautiful shot…both of them!
Thank you!
Happy New Year, Jeff. xxx Ailsa
Happy New Year, Ailsa. I hope you have a truly spectacular 2015!
I have never seen sea with ice in it, that must be really cold! Lovely shots and such dedication
Not too cold, 16°F, (that’s -8° for the Celsius folks in the audience). Which is about 26°F warmer than my coldest ever morning on the seacoast.
Cold enough when you have to get out of a warm bed in the dark before sunrise !
Of course, that’s what makes it fun!
Happy New Year Jeff, I was surprised to see the ice in the water, never happens here.
Happy New Year to you Leanne. You don’t know what you’re missing when it’s cold enough for seawater to start to freeze over.
I just saw what the temperature was, I have never experienced cold like that, certainly not here, the coldest it gets is maybe -1 overnight, but that is rare. Now if you want something else, well it is going to 39 here today and 41 tomorrow, so 100 and 105, how opposite are those, is this where you say from one extreme to the next?
My wife would love those kinds of temps right about now.
They seem like a good idea until you have to live through them. Trying to keep the house cool is hard at those temps.
Stunning photograph. Happy New Year!
Thank you, and right back at you. Have a wonderful 2015!
I always feel like I hold my breath when I view and experience your beautiful photos-you’re such an inspiration to this amateur photographer. Happy New Year Jeff!
Shawn-Marie, that is such a gracious thing to say. I’m honored. Thank you, and Happy New Year to you!
A great way to start the new year; gorgeous photos!
Gorgeous and Happy New Year to you and your family too!
Godt nyttår!
Wow, what a great first capture of the year….beautiful colours
A truly beautiful beginning 🙂
Sometimes it’s so hard to think of new adjectives to describe your photography Jeff. My thesaurus has run out! How about mesmerizingly beautiful. 🙂
Thanks, Jude. Now you know how I feel. There are only so many ways to say “thank you,” for all the wonderful comments you and so many others leave. 😀
