Seaside In Kauai
Sometimes Fate and Mother nature conspire to sabotage my fun. When I arrived on the island the local buzz was that there was a major swell heading towards the islands from the north. The following day it hit in full force, closing or battering most of the beaches on the island of Oahu which is where I was headed. The 30-40 ft waves that day were the highest recorded since 1969 and trying to approach a beach was risky if not perilous.
This shot was taken from the wayward side of the island on the first morning of my trip before the swell hit the islands. I noticed this petrified tree stump poking out of the sand and thought it would make a nice foreground element. When I returned later that week and the beach was littered with piles of driftwood and most of the trees had no sand under them, standing solely on their roots. Mother nature can be both vicious and ruthless.
Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my photos and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great weekend everyone :)
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.
