Although this Vertorama was composed exactly the same as this one which I posted a couple of days ago... it's different enough to make me want to process and post it as well.
Besides... I actually prefer this one. The light might have been better in the other one... but the streaky clouds in this one are way cool... and the beautiful woman just adds the finishing touch. :)
Nikon D300, Sigma 10-20mm at 10mm, aperture of f14, with a 1/30th second exposure.

I guess that is what I like about the sea
It reminds me of feelings
Roaring like this
The noise can be incredible
Crashing waves
This time there was no wind
Just the underlying rest of the storm
Still in the sea
That is us, isn't it
We keep stuff inside
Stuff that needed to be said out loud
Injustice
Being treated with no respect
Mean words from others
Even mean actions from others
All the scars we get
Maybe we act mean towards others because we don't deal with the people that actually was mean to us in the first place
All what we endure
And we just keep them inside us
Doesn't do us any good at all
So important to react
Out of respect for yourself
You grow you know, when you are standing up for yourself
Because that is your job
Luckily there is calm sea too
We all love the reflections and serenity that goes with the calmness
I guess that is what most of us want for ourselves too
Maybe that's why we love water
Water feeds us, nourish us
We can see all sides of our personality in the water and we respect that
We actually love it
Just as we should love ourselves
Just as we should do the honor of respecting ourselves
That's my recipe for nourishing myself
Maybe it will be the recipe for others too
When we do love and respect ourselves, then others will too
It all comes from you
The West Coast, of New Zealand or 'the Coast' as locals call it, is an untamed natural wilderness of rivers and rainforests, glaciers coastal views and geological treasures.
A friend sent me out to find him a big cigar. I found the the Little Cigar Store and was ready to pass it by until I noticed they sold lids. I figured I'd surprise my friend. Turns out they didn't really have lids, at least not the kind I was looking for, but they did have big cigars.

Ein weiteres Highlight auf unserem Roadtrip entlang des Oregon Coast Highway war der Leuchtturm von Heceta Head, der sehr fotogen auf einer Landzunge thront. Leider erforderte es einige Geduld, bis er endlich einmal aus dem Küstennebel auftauchte.
Another highlight on our road trip along the Oregon Coast Highway was the Heceta Head Lighthouse, which sits very photogenically on a bluff. Unfortunately, it took some patience until it finally emerged from the coastal fog.
