Landscape, Seascape, Nature & Wildlife Photography by Ed O'Malley

Ed O’Malley is a nature photographer who lives on the coast of New Jersey, specifically along the shore of Barnegat Bay. He can often be found sailing, fishing, diving, or kayaking – these and other outdoor activities often provide the opportunity and inspiration for his photographs.

In addition to his on-the-water pursuits, Ed has always enjoyed stormy weather, and in particular, the winter season – the more snow, the better. In the fall of 2007, this led to Ed’s affiliation with Mount Washington Observatory as a summit volunteer. Since then, this has provided many unique photographic opportunities on the summit of Mount Washington and in the surrounding area. Coastal storms also provide Ed with many opportunities for one-of-a-kind photographs.

Please Help Me Support the Non-Profit Mt. Washington Observatory

I just recently finished a volunteer week at the summit of Mt. Washington, New Hampshire, specifically at the non-profit Mt. Washington (weather) Observatory. As always, I had a good time, and took a lot of pictures.

In case you haven’t already seen them, here are some of the pictures from that week:

In July, I will be participating in my 5th annual “Seek the Peak” hike-a-thon, climbing the 6,288′ Mount Washington, to support the Observatory, a non-profit scientific and educational institution. The observatory is located at the summit of Mount Washington, NH, and is famous for recording a record setting surface wind gust of 231, back in 1934.

During its existence, Seek the Peak has raised over $600,000 for the observatory. This year marks the 12th anniversary of the event, and I’m hoping that you can help me to make this a record-breaking year for the non-profit Observatory.

If you enjoy my pictures, especially the Mt. Washington pictures taken while volunteering, I truly hope that you can contribute in support of my fundraising efforts on the Observatory’s behalf!

You can read more about the Observatory and make your contribution online using the link below.

All donations are tax deductible, and anything you can contribute to sponsor my hike in support of the Observatory is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Winter Waves

Here on the coast of New Jersey, especially in the winter, when the wind blows out of the southwest, the bay gets rough, and the ocean waves get pushed up, with spray blowing back from their tips. Yesterday was just such a day – low tide, very smooth surf, with the tops blown off the waves as spray. Despite the cold wind (and resulting wind chill) it was a nice day at the beach!
