Winter Storm Cape Kiwanda

I have a lot of images of waves crashing up against the Cape, but this one is particularly special in that it is one of the last images my original Canon 5D Mark II shot before taking a salt water shower and dying, never to return. Thank goodness for camera insurance. If you don't have it, get it. After this series of shots, I walked up to the top of the Cape and a HUGE wave came up all the way over the top (see image in comments below) and soaked me, my camera, and even the video camera that OPB was using to shoot footage with.
