I am completely at home in the water or on the water. I have been a WSI (Water Safety Instructor - basically a swimming teacher), a Waterfront Director and Waterfront Director Trainer, with some mad skills in swimming, canoeing, rowing, sailing, snorkeling and scuba diving.
I retired from the U.S. Navy after a 20 year career - LOTS of water. For exercise, I swam 2 kilometers per day, and have participated in the 2.4 mile Open Ocean Swim portion of the Iron Man Competition, finishing near-last, but going the distance.
As a kid, I would play outside in the rain, splashing in puddles. If there is water nearby, in any form, I want to be there. And although I am not into selfies, you may even see me in my favorite environment somewhere below.
I really like 1, 2, 4, 5 and the last. I have a healthy respect for the power of water.

Great set Bob! I am especially fond of water too, have been all my life! What a fantastic array of different scenes here! Great shooting, theme and presentation!
#4, 5 and 6 really stood out for me and I like the action shot showing off your love of the water!

These are magnificently spectacular, as only you can do

I'm voting for the waves rolling violently against the breakwater by the lighthouse and the shot with all of the ice frozen in mid-flow 💰💰💰💰💰 The whole group is utterly laudable

Outstanding set of images Bob.
Very nice, especially #5!
Is there any type of digital enhancement on the lighthouse picture ?
