Storm series follow us,
across the Atlantic,
spawning deep ocean waves and painting sunsets,
for only the fish,
and our lonely boat,
to see.
Cheers to you from the living sea.
Note: We have limited internet mid-ocean so I am missing you and look forward to catching up when we reach land.
I hope you are on a very big boat😬
Laughing, the sea is so much bigger than any boat, thank God!
I love these shots, Cindy, you are a great photographer. 🙂
Awww, and you are a lovely person Ranu~ <3
Your photography is breathtakingly beautiful, Cindy.
Ahhh, humbled, thank you~
My pleasure. Truly!
Wow, amazeing
We live in an amazing world!
Thank you for thinking of us while you are traveling, Cindy! Love these sunset photos, breathtaking. Happy travel! 🙂
Be well my friend~ <3

Love the ocean wave shot. Makes me feel like I’m there.
So hard to capture these 5 meter plus waves with nothing to compare it to visually, so I am very glad you liked it~
…..oh my oh my oh my! these are GORGEOUS, Cindy.
Oh, so kind and so appreciated!
These are beautiful pictures, Cindy. Thanks for sharing them. 🙂 — Suzanne
Thank you more for the thoughtful appreciation~
So beautiful Cindy.
Our earth is so beautiful isn’t it……
Yes indeed! Peace.
Beautiful photos, Cindy! I’m not much for boats, so I admire your courage at being on one, especially during a storm!! Safe travels, my friend!
I understand your disquiet. Something in me loves storms at sea though. I keep going back to them~
OOOOhhhhh 🙂
This is what I feel, nothing here but elements, sun, sea, sky~
so special these stormy clouds I love them, and your photos are amazing
I love ocean storms, and stormy mid-ocean sunsets, there is something truly incredible about them~
Big Sun, warming, energizing life everywhere the light touches.
Much like your the powerful images here on your wonderful blog Cindy
Ahhhh, so beautiful, and you understand.
I can only imagine how Breathtaking it was in person, as the photos themselves are Stunning 🙂
So thoughtful to think and say.
Absolutely Beautiful Cindy! I also wanted to thank you and reply to you for subscribing to my blog.
It is my privilege!

Cindy Knoke sharing her travels across the ocean to Spain and Portugal.. literally as she is at sea.. Wonderful atmospheric photography that really captures the mood of the sea and storm.
Ahhh Sweet Sally! Thank you my friend. I often feel at sea, so it is good to actually be on it! 🙂
I love being at sea.. the rougher the better. It is the all you can eat buffets that are my downfall!! hugs and travel safe.
How lovely! Where are you sailing to? x
Portugal and then Spain.
I am in Andalucia so give me a wave! 🙂
When I hit land, I will try!
Wonderful photos Cindy – thank you for sharing – safe travels! 🙂
Merci beaucuoup!
Have a great trip Maggie. I hope the weather turns really nice and stays that way for you.
xxx Massive Hugs xxx
Thank you David and be well~
Perfect
Like only Mother Nature can do!
Seems your new camera is working out well. Gorgeous!
Thank you Laura, but this is still the old trusty 400, I’m not managing the switch-er-oo real well!
Switching is hard! I love my new Sony now but oh dear do I need a wider lens. My hubby just rolled his eyes. ha!
Beautiful photographs. Have a wonderful time.
Bisous mon ami~
Great photographs. I think we’ve been sharing the edge of the same storm. 🙂
I will be in London for about 5 hours, longer if my son misses his flight!
Good luck with your trip. Hope you leave the storm behind. 🙂
Safe journeys! Extraordinary photos!! My favorite time of day <3
Yep, me too, sunrises not so much, sunsets yes, they have the beauty of ending.
Ah, but the sunrise is a new beginning 🙂 Hope you’re having a grand time!!
beautiful Fotos, leaving deep impressions. Enjoy the ocean and the fish…
Thank you for such a insightful comment. I love both the ocean and the fish.
Beautiful, and I’d love to see a sunset that big! Have a good trip!
We know the sun is huge, but sometimes I forget how huge the oceans are~
Awesome pics. As always. I look very forward to some of that, but on the Pacific when my husband and I take our Alaskan cruise trip aboard the Princess cruise line to Alaska with a land and sea pkg. It is our 50th w. anniversary then and we are booked and board the ship on the 16th of July. Very excited. Safe travels to you, Cindy, enjoy, where was it this time, Portugal and Spain? Exciting place, I’m sure.
Oh your trip should be magical. You are going to such an incredibly beautiful place and the trip up is simply stunning. I am happy for you both and look forward to hearing about your time! Congratulations on your 50th!
Thank you. I know it will be an unforgettable experience. 🙂
We miss you also Cindy.
You are in my thoughts my friend.
These are stunning, absolutely stunning.
Mother Nature does stuff right!
Thanks for sharing Cindy.
Leslie
Thank you for appreciating~
Amazing. I just love traveling with you Cindy. <3
You make the trip more meaningful Cate~
Beautiful sunsets.
Thank you!
Breathtaking photos!
My son is reading your book Carrie, here in the middle of The Sargasso Sea~
Ha, that’s so cool! Thank you for letting me know. Made my evening. I hope he enjoys it. 🙂
Enjoy the rest of your travels!
Gorgeous photos Cindy. 🙂
Grazie mille!
:))
Wow!!
Mother Nature doesn’t do things half way!
Wow, these re stunningly beautiful, Cindy. I love the vivid colours.
I am so glad you like them and thank you!
Brilliant photos, Cindy, good on you.
Merci beaucoup.
Spectacular shots!
I am humbled. Thank you~
Stunning photos. Enjoy each moment.
That is the trick to life isn’t it, to try and do this as much as possible.
That is the trick. 🙂
What a wonderful collection of photographs to the wonder of the ocean and the sky!
Alison
Eager to catch up with you Alison and hear about your Mexican experience!
Great photos! (I heard it isn’t so easy to capture the sun on the horizon.) Here’s welcoming you home soon!
It’s the completely empty ocean that makes it tough for me. How to capture this is a big challenge, it is so wonderful.
You do amazing an amazing job with the photography. And I love your picture story-telling.
Beautiful photos.
Honored!
Beautiful sun and ocean photos – enjoy your trip!
Thank you and be well Leya~
You too.
You always organize your wonderful photos around great themes! Such stunning sunset and ocean views! 💕
Posting for people like you is a joy Teresa! Cheers to you~
Spectacular! Breathtaking! Well captured Cindy. Your photography is amazing 👍
Your kindness is an honor. Thank you.
Love the stormy waves, Cindy.
They are hard for me because they are not surfing waves near shore, but huge ocean swells with no perspective, so thank you very much.
Beautifully eloquated, from the heart of the sea 🙂
Ahhh, you get it!
Unreal!
Hugs to you dear Cynthia. <3
Beautiful, wish I was there, hope your having a wonderful time
I wish you were here, singing “The Song To The Moon!”
Wow, Cindy, even in the middle of the ocean…you capture the magic. Beautiful ! ❤️
Awwww, so kind!
Sensational photos, Cindy 🙂
I loved them all <3
You are a sweetheart. Thank you & cheers too~
Have a wonderful weekend, Cindy 🙂
Sail away Cindy … into breathtaking vistas and new discoveries! Thank you for sharing with us 💛
You posses my spirit precisely!
Because you reflect my own! Wish I could capture the moments as you do in your photos 💕
>3 >3
I hoped you got through the storm well and can at least enjoy the buffet now. That beautiful red sky at night portends good times.
It does indeed! Until the next storms kicks up~
Amazing, buddy
So glad you enjoyed!
fantastic..a dream..wish you all the best,dear Cindy <3
So pleased you enjoyed and only the best back at you!
The waves and the deep orange/red sun look so intimidating.
Yes, intimidating, powerful and beautiful, all at the same time!
Stunning Cindy.
Thank you Pauline and be well my friend~
Another exciting adventure – enjoy your cruise!
Seven days now crossing the Atlantic, with not one ship seen the whole time!
A watery desert. I don’t know if I could be out of sight of land. I think it would make me nervous! I hope the weather is good for your passage and not too stormy. <3
These are breathtaking, Cindy! Enjoy yourself! 🙂
Ahhh, thank you Linda and kiss the kitties for me! <3
A wonderful story to accompany the beautiful images.
So kind of you. Thank you!
I forget how large the ocean is. It’s really amazing. I hope you are having a lovely time, Cindy!
No ships seen now for seven days, just like The Ancient Mariner said!
Wow! Any dolphins?
We are still in The Sargasso Sea. It’s an ocean defined by the current surrounding it. In two days we will approach the current boundary off the coast of Africa where there is subtantial upwelling and generally a lot of whales, especially blue whales. This is our fourth crossing, our third over this part of the ocean. I saw a lot of whales including blues at the confluence before once! I am hoping to see some again this time. In the Sargasso itself, one sees little marine life, mistakenly leading people like Coleridge to refer to the sea as a desert. It is a very organically rich ocean, but the life is mostly below the water. I have seen pilot whales once in the middle of The Sargasso. The Sargasso fascinates me. It is named for living floating sargasso kelp that supports a whole ecosystem of minute marine life, including resting baby sea turtles.
Certainly is a gorgeous sunset. Thanks for sharing it Cindy! Enjoy the seascape and all the stunning sunsets along the way! <3
Mother Nature doesn’t disappoint does she! <3
Just wow – amazing pictures!
So appreciated Christopher!
Beautiful!

Safe travels, Cindy!
Warm greetings,
The Fab Four
I wish you were here and send good cheer to all four of you!
Beguiling! What an amazing journey you are on – thank you for sharing it, Cindy. Cheers to you 🙂
Thank you so much more for sharing it with me. It makes the journey more meaningful!
Excellent shots
Honored, thank you!
Bon Voyage! Which ship are you on? 😀
Same one as always, seven days crossing now. Loving it! Hope you are well my friend.
Gorgeous, Cindy! I can smell the ocean.
Thank you and so can I!!! 🙂
Awe-inspiring photos. Have a great weekend! 🙂
I am honored and cheers to you!
<3
<3 back at U!
Breathtaking photos.
Mille grazie!
Las fotos de la travesía son preciosas. Supongo que ya te queda poco tiempo para estar entre nosotros (los habitantes de la Península Ibérica ;-)) Has elegido una buena época para disfrutar de nuestra luz, pero sin el agobiante calor del verano. Un abrazo Cindy y hasta pronto.
Gracias amiga mia!
Voy a estar en Espana durante tres semanas. No hay tiempo suficiente. Es mi tercer viaje a Espana. Me gustaría poder permanecer un ano! Abrazos y besos!
A ver si tus deseos se cumplen y en otra ocasión vienes para más tiempo y así conocer a los amigos españoles. Supongo que tendrás un programa denso y espero que lo disfrutes. Besos <3
Cindy, these pictures are breathtaking! I feel like I’m looking at a fantasy world. Gorgeous! Have fun. 😀 xx
Thank you Vashti. It is like another world, yet it is our world, with no people. It always reminds me of Coleridge and his ancient mariner, adrift on the empty sea. It is so beautiful.
So amazing Cindy!
Ahhh, I love my blogging friends!
Your photos are so gorgeous
Limited internet mid-ocean is a good thing! Lovely, lovely shots.
You are kind & perceptive!
🙂
Nice photos, I like them all Cindy
So pleased you do & thank you!

Keeping you in 🙏

Beautiful photos and safe travels, Cindy!
Cheers to you and be well Lavinia!
These are just stunning!
I am very pleased you enjoyed them Jo Ann!
Hi there Cindy. They were all good though the last one really jumped out, taking me by surprise. Was that your intent? Breathtaking colours and once again it made a big difference that you could click on it.
I am happy you enjoyed Andy! I do try to end with a good photo that stands out to reward people who bother to look at all the photos! So pleased you noticed and cheers to you my friend~
You are an artist~ wow wow wow
You are very kind and so appreciated! Thank you~ <3
. . . and beautiful it is.
Our incredible living plane!. Sending you & Tom hugs, thoughts and best wishes from Portugal~ <3
Hi Cindy, I especially like this post. Your photos are beautiful.
I am honored!
Ahhh, makes me glad I posted! Thank you~
did you see any “Green Flashes” at sunset? Great shots too btw!
I definitely did and finally caught one in a photo!
these photos are…Glorious Cindy 🙂
Awwww, humbled and honored. Hugs to you my friend~ <3
Beautiful! 🙂
Muchas gracias!
Such beautiful photos from your boat! Thank you for sharing them with us 🙂
Thank you more for looking at them and cheers to you Christy! <3
STUNNING!!!! Take care out there, Cindy!
In sunny Portugal now Resa, took some street art photos that I can’t wait to share with you. Portugal has truly amazingly talented street artists~ <3
Hard to beat a gorgeous sunset. So peaceful to watch.
Sets my heart in the proper rhythm~ <3
Absolutely!
Stunning. Love all the colors, Cindy!
Mama Nature knows how to paint the sky! <3
All were astounding examples of forces in nature, Cindy. I don’t think I have seen such a living ocean or sky on fire, as these display! Wow! xo
The middle of The Sargasso Sea is one of the most lonely and yet most beautiful places on the planet. The sunsets rule the sea. Be well and cheers to you Robin~
That is fabulous. Green with envy here. Or am I seasick? Could be either.
My son got seasick in all the storms, but eventually overcame it, so you are right Brenda, it could be either! 😉 Cheers to you from sunny Portugal~ <3
I have a very excitable tummy. Storms would make me seasick, too.
Cheers to you from rainy New England. My neighbor who moved here from Georgia remarked sourly that today was like November. LOL
Thank you for these powerful and beautiful photos!
Thank you so much more for taking the time to look at them and appreciate them Charles and be well my friend~
Brilliant Cindy! You have such an adventure ahead!! Can’t wait to see all you sen dour way! xox
I can’t wait to share with you as we decamp to land. Please share your expertise. I am interested to learn from you!
Looking forward to all you pass on!! Are you going to Portugal first? We loved the Pasteis de Belem– a cafe that sells luscious cream tarts and has been open since 1837! by the Geronmios Monatery– I heard a story on that place on NPR last week and it made me wish I could sit down to a nice plate of them!! I’m sure you’ll find all kinds of wonderful things to sample! enjoy!
Well, I am walking up a storm, maybe I could have just one……….. 😉
Thanks for the tip. We’ll check it out!
looks like Heaven, Cindy
Mid-ocean is heaven for me. So happy you appreciate it!
Lovely…:-)

Much belated thanks for taking and sharing your photographs. Type of vessel from which pictures taken? Mutinies, keel-hauling? Keep breathing deeply that great, fresh salty air and keep them thar pictures acomin’.
No keel-hauling, but it is definitely the law of the sea out here!
