Friday Field Photo #183: Evening sun on the open ocean
This week’s photo is from the deck of the JOIDES Resolution drill ship last summer. Before IODP Expedition 342 I had spent only a few days at sea, and even then it wasn’t more than ~20-30 km from land. Being out in the open ocean — several hundred km from land — was an experience I didn’t think about or appreciate before I did it.
I never grew tired of watching the sea during that two months. The interaction of swells of different sizes and forms moving in different directions resulted in unique displays of nature. And it’s quite different than watching the sea near the coast. Watching the water pile up into ‘mountains’ and ‘ridges’, creating a constantly changing topography, was actually quite therapeutic during an incredibly busy expedition.
Happy Friday!

Clastic Detritus 
I don’t even know the way I stopped up here, but I believed this put up
was great. I do not understand who you’re however certainly you are
going to a well-known blogger should you aren’t already.
Cheers!
Throughout the awesome scheme of things you actually receive a B- just for effort and hard work. Where exactly you actually confused us was on your particulars. You know, it is said, the devil is in the details… And that couldn’t be much more true here. Having said that, let me say to you what exactly did deliver the results. Your authoring is actually highly persuasive and that is probably the reason why I am making the effort to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, despite the fact that I can see the leaps in reasoning you come up with, I am not certain of just how you appear to connect your ideas which in turn make the actual conclusion. For the moment I will, no doubt yield to your point but wish in the future you actually link your dots much better.
Loved reaading this thank you
